Hello all
I need help resuscitating my mac pro and any help will be much appreciated.
My mac is a 2006 mac pro uprgaded with a 8800gt and snow leopard.
I was playing a game in bootcamp when the game would suddenly freeze, with
glitchy audio looping and becoming totally unresponsive, I managed to reboot
and replay the game with this happening again. I rebooted a third time and the apple cinema display started blank and giving 3 short flashes. I managed to boot into
snow leopard a few trimes and then started to get "You need to restart your computer" message when loading up. Now I get this message on every attempt
and im not sure how to find out whats wrong and fix it.
I thought it might be a video card problem from the cinema display going blank when
booting into bootcamp but thought it might also be a hardrive problem due to the
forced reboots. Either way have totally no idea what it could be.
I also did a hardware scan from my install disc and this returned no errors so
thought it might need a fresh install but cant do this due to the error message.
Any ideas much appreciated.
