Mac pro 2008 to slow down, or may not start, but starting in safe mode

HI dudes. I have a Mac pro 2008 with yosemite.

I can't boot into normal mode, but it's ok in safe mode.

I changed the hd, do a clean install, but still the same.

Sometimes (days), it starts up fine, but the other days not, or if it boot is so sloooowww if a type of something, maybe 7 characters, it takes about 30 seconds to display on the screen.

I'm putting a radeon hd 4890 to see if the problem is the graph (due to the fact that the mac works fine in safe mode) now my graphics card is ati 2600 256 MB

I don't know what to try next, I'm desperate

PS: Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Spain.

Yes, could be a bad graphics card.

I would also like to run Apple Hardware Test

you will need one of the original disks supplied with the Mac

  • Firefox does not, as soon as I open the window solutions, may NOT START in safe MODE?

    Recently, I accidentally begain download some unwanted addons - but I cancelled the download before being finished and quickly removed the programs by uninstalling program files issues. Firefox worked pretty well at the time, but later he started to become less sensitive. I did some cleaning (clear the cache, etc.) and done a virus scan. Has not made a difference.
    Eventually he started to get like some that I open a firefox browser - becomes inadmissible. The first two times, disconnection and reconnection to my connection int fixed. But now is not working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it is inadmissible. I should have the version 6.0.2
    Finally, there is no way I can run firefox in SafeMode because as soon as I open the browser it is inadmissible, which means that I can not even access toolbars.

    • Click the Firefox button, and then click exit
    • NOW press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open the--> Task Manager process tab-> click right firefox.exe and click end process tree -> close the Task Manager

  • Black screen, does not start in safe mode - how do I restart my mac

    Hello, I have a MacbookPro, that all of a sudden will not start. I believe that the problem - from what I've read-, is that memory is simply too fulll. I tried to start in Safe Mode, but of course it doen't work. The screen displays a small bar as it loads, but after a while goes back to the same blank screen and nothing happens. I tried waiting half an hour, but nothing changes. I have not tried to launch utility disk in Recovey Mode because I'm afraid of what will happen to my files. Unfortunately, I unwisely postponed to back up files and now I'm afraid to do anything that my fry them all without me even realizing it. Can you offer any solution that is as safe as possible?  I don't have a cable Thunderbolt.

    There is no such cards and until Intel control tokens required to implement love at first sight, it will never be. You do not miss anything. They do not exist.

  • Mac Pro 2008 RAM Upgrade

    Hello

    My Early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) currently has 6 GB of RAM (two 1 GB sticks) and two sticks of 2 GB and I bought a pair of used ram (800 MHz DDR2, who works with the Mac Pro 2008 according to the announcement on Ebay) to take up to 8 GB. I have a Kingston 2 GB key and a broken stick of the same type to complete the configuration. I followed the instructions on the Apple support page and inserted the two sticks of working and broken in the memory card top of the page, and when I turned on the machine, it is detected that the map background (which had the pair of 2GB that was already in the machine) about this Mac. After the reinstallation of the new RAM, the fans in the machine began to turn to the maximum, and the machine hung on the Apple logo. I tried a few different configurations (including the replacement of one of the existing 2 GB sticks with the new work), which caused the machine hang or the memory card, they were to not be detected. I have now deleted the new RAM temporarily, and the machine works fine.

    Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.

    installing new RAM check the smaller units of new RAM by itself, has increased the confidence that we CAN work, prior to mixing and matching with your RAM existing. This reduces the problem to the size.

  • Can I install two graphics on MAC Pro 2008

    I can install two graphics on MAC Pro 2008 cards, and if possible it can cause problems?

    Yes. Just not the slot 1 (double-width slot) and slot 2 are 16 x and Gen 2. Slots 3 and 4 are 4 x Gen 1.1 so not good for graphics cards.

    Note also that even the graphics cards require one or even 2 power connectors to THE but the mac has only 2 available

    Since your iSight webcam works up to the time that your Mac goes to sleep, I would like you to start please help desk trying to replicate this problem then to reboot in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  • X 1 carbon (Gen3 20BS) may not start, nothing else than to the BIOS

    Yesterday I had a few pilots, as well as the update of the BIOS updates. BIOS seems to update successful (now its 1,14), all under BIOS works. I had 2 OS: win10 and Ubuntu with grub. I've been a happy user of all these for several months, but...

    The problem is that I can't start any OS or OS installation even after an update of pilot (which was done through Lenovo utility for Win10)! Recovery ISOs, diagnostic tools... Nothing can be started. BTW, I know how to deal with secure boot and legacy mode. I can handle start the process of starting anything listed above, but they all have the same behavior. That they freeze at the beginning. Everything that involves just ACPI hangs at startup. Linux crashes after the message "ACPI Tables successfully asked" or sth like that. Win10 displays the points that go around 1 second and then crashes. If I add "acpi = off" to Linux boot options, it starts (but almost nothing works there without acpi support). Things that do not work for ACPI. For example, I can update the BIOS of drinks ISOS. It still does not help because my BIOS version is the most recent and it does not restore.

    It cannot be the hardware problem such as it appeared after Windows drivers updated and flashed a firmware (not BIOS, but I don't know what it was exactly). I can access the data on the SSD and you can see some newspapers if necessary.

    Hope of assistance how Flash again all the firmware on laptop boot USB possible? What can be flashed with the exception of the BIOS?

    In response to customer relationships which, after a BIOS update to some ThinkPads, the system may not start, suspended at the Windows startup screen, Lenovo provided a Service COUNCIL detailing workaround. A permanent solution is provided through future BIOS update.

    The Service TIP can be found here: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/sf16-t0079

  • FCAC's services may not start automatically

    I had to manually start two services < DB_NAME > _RPT, < DB_NAME > _SRV on a RAC. It has been for a while now, because it happened after the interview. Looking for a way to autostart.

       

    All services are already enabled by

    srvctl enable service d < database name > < service > s

    Also checked 

    srvctl config service d < database name > < service > s

    and it does not show "The Service is activated".

    'crsctl enable the crs' and checked

    / etc/Oracle/scls_scr/RAC1/root/crsstart, also shows "enable".

    But services may not start automatically...

    The database is Active data guard and services on the primary database always start automatic without problem.


    Thank you!

    Hi David,

    This service does not start until the role of the service is changed to physical_standby, as shown below:

    srvctl config service d s _RPT

    Service name: _RPT

    The service is activated

    Server pool: __RPT

    Cardinality: 4

    Disconnect: false

    The service role: PRIMARY

    Management policy: AUTOMATIC

    DTC transaction: false

    Notifications of AQ HA: fake

    Failover type: NONE

    Failover method: NONE

    TAF failover attempts: 0

    TAF failover time: 0

    Objective connection of balancing: LONG

    Goal of balancing Runtime: NO

    Governed by a policy JOB: NONE

    Edition:

    Favorite instances: 1,2,3,4

    Available forums:

    So change to this service as:

    srvctl change service d s _RPT-l physical_standby

    With this setting, your database will this service upwards and running when it is in this role, but do not forget that when the ADG to be the principal changes, this service will not be upward, then you must set up another GOLD make this static service on the listener.

    Kind regards.

  • Mac Pro 2008 No. Startup Manager Access/Gray screen on startup

    I'm in a difficult situation and hoping a Ninja Mac can give a helping hand.

    Had a RAM issue (is no longer recognized a pair of memory modules in a 2008 Mac Pro, El Capitan), and among the troubleshooting steps, I did a PRAM reset (press / hold down ALT + CMD + P + R during startup) just to see if it could resolve. Unfortunately, the Mac would not start in front of a gray-white screen with a flashing icon of folder/question mark. Returned never me to get there.

    I had read that resetting the PRAM the disc start, among other things, may need to be reset afterwards, and this seems to be the case. Looked this solution and kept diligently press Option key during startup. This time, no folder icon, instead a sensitive cursor, but nothing else. Gray-white screen only, no boot manager to select the startup disk is suitable.

    I also tried the following...

    1. Starting in the Diagnostic Mode... Gray screen.
    2. Restore/recovery... Gray screen.
    3. Reset the SMC... Gray screen.
    4. Enter Safe Mode... Gray screen.

    OS (and apps) on flash PCI cards. All files are on hard disks in the 4-Bay, as well as a player flash remains connected to a (used as a scratch of PS) free SATA port. So I can't really share, but I wonder if I shoot all readers it would require a search for another source?

    I create an El Capitan USB boot (currently copy with createinstallmedia), but don't expect that it will offer what anyone else that its use is based on access to the Startup Manager at startup..., that I can't do. There are the graphics on the screen (missing folder icon, mobile mouse cursor) so can not imagine a video problem.

    Looking forward to enter here.

    Success!

    I created a USB bootable OS X installer using these instructionsand createinstallmedia. After some messing around with the Terminal syntax USB was ready to go. My concern, however, was that the operating instructions required by selecting the drive of the Startup Manager... which I could not access.

    With the USB stick plugged in I started to turned on the Mac while pressing the key OCCUPIED Palestinian territory and this time, the selection screen pops up showing just the USB key for installation of El Capitan. Got that we open and instead of installing I chose Startup Manager in the installation menu bar, took my normal OS drive and rebooted. Back in business, no problems.

    This put aside, although I understood that reset PRAM would also require reselect startup disk, I don't have a hot clue why did not appear the Boot Manager - or any other useful diagnostic. If someone could throw some light here would be appreciated.
