Hi,

I am getting a bit concerned about my Mac Pro, after i turn it off, usually within 5minutes, i get this sudden blast of light inside it. It's like a power surge or something. My Soundcard sits on top of my mac pro and all it's lights quickly light up for a second then go off.
It's really concerning, i have no idea what it is.

it does this quite a few times once i've turned it off too. Last night after i turned it off it did it about 4 times in an hour.

If anyone has any ideas or advice i would be really grateful,

I'm on OSX 10.6.8, snow leopard, 2 x 2.66 GHZ Dual CoreIntel Xeon.....5GB Ram and it's a 2008 mac pro (might be 2009).

Many thanks,

Tom
