I did a search (although my search may have been less than perfect) and didn't find a thread on this, so here goes...
Twice in the last 10 days my MacPro has locked up while browsing Safari. Fans go full speed and sounds like it's going to fly away. I have to hard shut down and when I do, the power light blinks off and on. No sequence, just off and on. I do a power reset by unplugging the tower for 30 seconds and pressing the power button to clear memory. Startup and all is good. I can't find anything in the logs that indicate a memory issue or possible graphics card problem.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I'm using an early '08 MacPro (2.8 8 core) with a WD SSD boot drive, 8 gigs of RAM and have the ATI Radeon HD 3870. I also ran Rember to test memory and that said everything was good.

Android isn't hurting iPhone sales, in my opinion. Because Apple can't even meet demand and is continuing to grow at crazy speeds.

Just to clarify, the VPN server is a router or the Mac Pro?
The VPN server is an AVM 7270 router/modem/voip box.
So you think she has to manually connect to the ip adress of my MacPro to be able to download files remotely?
How would I do this? Is it done in Finder somewhere?

Hi Guys,
A mac mini (2 months old) connected to a GOOD UPS is now rebooting on it's own 3-4 times a day.
There are log files generated for these events but are too detailed for my understanding.
Is there a simple event viewer (like MS eventvwr.msc) that can show me failed services, failed operations, etc., so I can try and track down what the heck is going on?
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it :)
I think "Wow!" every time I pass my hand over my Cube to wake it up or put it to sleep. And the G3 Powerbook still wows me as a piece of design. All my ex-Macs get passed on to my kids.
I have the WOW effect every day I use my PowerBook. It does what I want with some style. I like the way it thinks, just like me :)

As we all know the main focus for mac's is not gaming, however with my Mac pro recently arriving with the 3.2 quad and a 5870 GPU; what kind of gaming performance increase will I notice vs my 2010 iMac i7 with the mobility GPU card in it? I really don't want to disrespect any of you guys by asking this question as this is not why I bought my Mac Pro, and this is not a "gaming" forum, however I do game a little and I could not find any benchmarks that put the two side by side.
Let's use black ops, and maybe crysis as a means for making a comparison and any other key games you can think of, btw all gaimg is done via boot camp with windows 7 ult.
Really depends on the res you play at now.
As the resolution gets larger the 5870 pulls ahead in a bigger way.
Couldn't find any DX10 benches but here is Battlefield BC 2 (1920x1200, 4AA, 8AF, High Quality, DX10)
5750: 25.6 FPS
5870: 52.3 FPS
3D Mark 06:
iMac 5750: 15344
5870: 23640
3D Mark11 Enthusiast settings:
FPS:
5750: 12.44
5870: 27.68
I don't have any problems playing anything at my 1680x1050 res. Including Metro 2033 (Much heavier than Crysis). I play Crysis maxed with 4xAA the only exception.

OK.
Well, first off, you cannot have both OS's on the RAID card. OS X would boot from the card, but Windows will not. This is why the Windows disk must be attached to the ICH (it's been tried unsuccessfully with multiple cards from different brands).
But with this configuration, you will be able to use the Boot Loader built into the MP's firmware to select which OS you want to boot (still have to set the OS X boot disk under System Preferences). Windows is done during the installation process (you select the disk location, and that gets set in the Boot Loader).
Take a look at Apple's Boot Camp page (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/) for further information (How To Guide).
Assuming you mean to use the ICH for the Windows disk (backplane connector that's meant for the empty ODD bay), see above.
To access the Boot Loader Menu, hold down the Option key during startup (brings up the installed OS's), and select which one you want to use.
The kit includes a means of getting power to the disks (connects to the connector on the backplane board <one with the PCIe slots>, where the drives normally connect to <both power and data to the ICH>). So you get up to 4 of these (part of why you need to pay attention to the part number you order from MaxUpgrades).
It's meant to get up to 4x HDD's attached to a 3rd party RAID card (includes all the parts needed to do this, such as cables and custom trays that are shallower in order for the cables to fit).
In short, it will do what you need (has been used successfully many times). Just make sure you order the right part (both system's model year as well as the disk count - it's not hard, but do pay attention or you may get the wrong one).
Ideally, run both. So if the budget allows for it, get it.
BTW, make sure the UPS uses a pure sine wave inverter, not a stepped unit (i.e. SmartUPS series from APC). There are another type beginning to ship (PWM based steps = more of them, so it better approximates a sine wave). But for about the same cost, you can get a true sine wave unit in the refurbished market if you look.
Thanks.
So I have now upgraded the Mac Pro with 2x X5690 and they work great. Only thing concerning me is the temperature for processor A is like 6 degrees higher when idle (B 28, A 33) and up to 12 degrees celcius higher when stress testing in Prime95 in OSX. Using iStat, it unfortunately shows only the average temp for all cores on any one CPU and not temp for each core. Is these anything available for OSX that will show all core temps?
I doubt it's a case of heatsink having poor contact with CPU due to thermal grease having gaps etc. Because the temperatures are still in the norm, it's just that CPU B is really cool. After about 15 min in Prime95 it sort of averages 63 for CPU B and 72 for CPU A and these 1366 chips can safely do 78/80 as far as I recall.
Not worth remounting you reckon ? I applied even amounts of MX-4 to both chips and covered their surface entirely.
Also I understand bootcamp does not work with RAID volumes but is there a utility available for OSX that would allow me to partition my 4x 3TB RAID5 volume as such: 4TB HFS partition and the other 4TB in NTFS. I want that RAID5 space to not only be available to OSX but also to Windows 7 that will be installed on the other SSD.

If I may, I'll add my question in here.
I've just had an awful time trying to put on the Cygnett OpticClear screen protector.
I cleaned everything down got started and somehow managed to attract some specks of dust. I did the tape thing, but ended up making more of a mess of things, and adding more specks to the screen :( - I had a similar nightmare putting the screen protector on my original iPad, but it worked out okay in the end.
I've ended up trying several times, but just can't get it to apply without problems, so I finally tried to clean the back with water. This seemed to get the little specks, so I tried to do an install while it was still wettish and just can't seem to get that right either. I think I may have screwed it up altogether, and will just go without the protector this time, (even though it cost me for this one.)
Any tricks? or is it just a case of too much dust floating around? (I promise the room isn't covered in dust, btw!) :rolleyes:
thanks

It is a bit funny they lumped iOS and Android. That would be like lumping Sony and Nintendo together (regardless of one being bigger than the other). Analysts always find a way to make completely arbitrary groupings (e.g. the iPad is never included in iOS numbers yet is always lumped in with a "tablets" category which doesn't distinguish between OS let alone who makes them).
I would love to have more games with depth for the iOS but the only ones available are ports of really old computer games like Riven. It would be nice if we got some original content designed for touch that had depth (the two seem to be mutually exclusive at the moment).
As far as Nintendo porting, that would be a horrible decision for them. They might as well sell themselves to Sega. Nintendo's situation is worsened by the 3DS kind of missing the point and they don't need to make it even worse by losing their exclusives. (Personally, the 3DS completely lost me. I bought the original DS and DS lite but I see no reason to get a 3DS because they just tacked optional 3D on). Sony's NGP might interest me if they ever get their store/update junk sorted out. They seem to have ADHD.

Google Chrome on the other hand, even though it uses webkit decides to render the box-shadow despite there being no -webkit- prefix
This is just because Chrome is using a newer build of Apple Webkit than Safari 5. If you download the webkit nightly you will see box-shadow is picked up without needing the vendor specific -webkit prefix. When Safari 6 arrives you will have the same issue you have with Chrome. It will render the reflection and the shadow.
Can't you just:
[1] Use -webkit-box-reflect (as you do currently for Safari)
[2] Include -o-box-shadow (for Opera)
[3] Include -moz-box-shadow (as you do currently for Firefox)
[4] Remove the box-shadow declaration
So:
Safari/Chrome: -webkit-box-reflect
Opera: -o-box-shadow
Firefox: -moz-box-shadow
Surely that will be simplest way?
I know it would be nice to just use box-shadow, but those vendor prefixes won't be deprecated anytime soon.
