end of 2013 Mac Pro self begins with red light under DIMM 3

My end of 2013 "trash" Mac Pro has an intermittent problem on start up - this can take up to 8 auto restarts before it starts to fully operational status. During these reboots red lights are visible through the base, in the area of the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. This happens in about 3-4 times when the Mac Pro is started first thing in the morning. Sometimes - but rarely - it will also restart after a period of normal operation.

Run diagnostics and, before one of the operations described below, this indicates that all was well but the 2 just many times where I ran diagnosis, he pointed out that no WiFi interface has been installed. Have also run Memtest that since several days of testing, running as a single user with multiple passes, says memory all OK.

Have tried resetting the SMC both NVRAM and update of the OS. Removed and reinstall the RAM modules. After the reinstallation of modules, first start only registered DIMM 1 & 2 modules. There seems to be no problem with the seating, nothing loose or place and taken liberation were entirely home. Next and all subsequent boots saved all 4 modules.

A day of immediate bootups without problem but then, first thing this morning, had two cottages restarts during startup. I gave the 2nd boot press / press and hold the 'on' then booted diagnosis - no problem not indicated. On the startup resulting, everything was fine.

I guess the problem is in, either the GPU or with 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Can someone tell me the meaning of red lights? Diagnosis would be easier if I knew.

Hello Bob,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

I see that you have found a red flashing in the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Typically, this indicates a bad RAM module or the module is not seated properly. I see you have already done the troubleshooting that I would have recommended. So, unless you have third-party RAM installed in your Mac Pro, I suggest you take a look at the following link to access the service options for your computer.

Happy holidays.

  • Looking good 4 k monitor for end of 2013 Mac Pro

    I just ordered and received the LG 4 k monitors but when comparing them with the Apple thunderbolt display monitor they were still close in brightness or color rendering. They had an orange very little the cast to them. They were the 31MU97C-B models and I could not find any reviews on them. They were actually newer and cheaper than the model 31MU97 (without the C - B).

    So I sent them back. They were only 900 each, shipped. Is there anyone in the sound of my voice who can tell me a good 4 k monitor about the same price comparable to the Thunderbolt display, but in 4K? I've searched high and low.

    Thanks in advance

    Take a look at BenQ monitors. I use a pair of 24 '' those on my Mac Pro 12-core gaming and they are great. I got them to Fry. mine are not K 4s, but you could do a search and check BenQ 4 K specifications and perhaps find a store with some on display to check. Mine give identical color between the 2, so their QC is decent. (I got a pair of ViewSonics never able to calibrate to match!) They make the ViewsSonics (attached to my older PowerMac G5 and sat next to my Mac pro) look really weak and pale on the best settings of ViewSonic.

    http://4k.com/monitor/a-review-of-the-benq-bl3201ph-32-ips-led-4k-monitor-with-3 2-led-lit-screen inches / is a review on the BenQ 32 "4K that Amazon sells for slightly less than $900. Be sure to watch the 3201PH against the PT. 3210 (who sell the FRY and even Wal-Mart) I don't think that the PT would be like good video. (he does not mention 4K on his form and sells for hundreds less.)

    I think you're bad read the OWC page. They propose to replace the internal SSD stick with their largest capacity SSD stick. The external box is only for you to continue to use the original USB key (perfect condition) as an external drive, if you wish.

  • Screen Dell 5 k with 2013 Mac Pro in El Capitan

    So, after years of waiting for Apple to make a screen that mocks use of the capabilities of the Mac Pro, I gave up and bought the Dell UP2715K 27 inch monitor UltraSharp Ultra-HD 5 K.

    It uses two cables in parallel to transmit the signal from k 5.  There's help on the Dell site and apparently it works 5 k with the Mac Pro 2013 in respect of Yosemite, but there is no mention of El Captain (why type this ridiculous name of OSX makes me so angry).

    Thus, the question, someone at - it operate under El captain to 5 K with the 2013 Mac Pro garbage.

    Thank you

  • Mac pro 4.1 with problem / contrast Color dell u3011

    I have a 4.1 MAC PRO 8-CORE 2.26 (radeon 5870) and use it with snow leopard and recently added the el captain on the second startup disk.

    for a monitor, I use the U of DELL 3011 via display port.

    I have problem with high contrast, even after calibration of the monitor with photo colormunky and since I want to use this game for photo editing is a huge problem.

    the only solution by chance that I found at the Leopard version is to use the TESt MONITOR EIZO and after closing this program everything happens here, it should be! When I open again the test, it looks appropriate to the levels of white on black r correct and distinguished colors are more natural and when I print it is exactly the same.

    unfortunate this model does not work at the start of the captain el drive so I had to ask for help in the community

    Check the settings of improved contrast.

    It is found in the system preferences.

    Depending on the version of Mac OS X, its name varies from random combinations of words such as 'Universal access' and 'accessibility '.

  • Mac Pro and living with storage Thunderbolt

    Yes I m thinking of diving and the purchase of the Mac Pro with 256 or 512 GB SSD. So what I wonder about is what kind of external storage Thunderbolt to buy and how performance is with love at first sight when you work with large image (1-2 GB. tif´s) files. The internal memory won't be enough with 256 / 512GB SDD and the 1 TB i dear for me. So I'd rather have an external storage to store the images and also do the real work.

    The computer I m using right now is a Macbook Pro 2011 with a 256 GB OSX disc and 1 to mechanical (swapped the optical drive).

    Hello

    I'm a long-time Palm enthusiast who is frustrated.  No Palm products more for me or anyone I talk to until I fix this.  Someone at Palm should pay attention to their long-standing customers.  I bought Palm trees in 2002 and 2003.

    Once these two were Hot Synch works very well, and sync wireless works fine and doesn't interfere.

    Remove all external and off devices, disconnect all external cables

    Check your GPU for dust/dirt/creep (where it "fits" of the socket), you can remove it but when undertaking this make sure that you are properly grounded at all times and the components are put in static free containers, then clean the inside of the computer with compressed air ensuring that you damage the connectors not blowing the white point.

    Replace the GPU and follow the instructions to reset the SMC.

  • I have no sound coming out of my macbook pro and see a red light in the hole of the listener.

    I do not have its coming out of my macbook pro os x 10.8.1 but if an earphone is connected I hear the sound and there is a red light through the matter of earphone. What is happening to you can help me?

    The red light of the headset jack means the MacBook Pro thinking that an optical audio cable is plugged into the port. Try to have disconnected and reconnected a headphone plug into the port several times. There is a tiny sensor inside the port that determines if the port is operating in analog or optical mode. Something similar by plugging should trigger the sensor and restore the analog signal.

  • Damaged screen coated end of 2013 Macbook Pro?

    MacBook Pro 15 inch model of retina end 2013 - OS X El Capitan

    The coating of the screen of my macbook covered the period I owned, just to clean it with a cloth that has come with the macbook. At first, I thought it might just be an isolated issue, but it came to my attention that several other macbook owners have suffered similar damage to the coating of the screen. I read some articles and apparently Apple have a current repair for screens.

    My Macbook is no longer under warranty because of me buy in late 2013.

    My question to all of this is; Apple will replace screens and/or coating? If not, is there a way I can fix this and prevent it from happening again?
