Hi all,
I got my 09 Mac Pro (2.26GHz + ATI 4870) a few days ago and I've noticed a couple of issues.
- The PSU started to emit a buzzing sound. Should I be worried?
- Installing the Logitech MX Revolution drivers (LCC) caused the Mac Pro to freeze for 0.5s every like 1-2 minutes while dragging windows. Uninstalling the drivers fixes the issue to some extent
- I can definitely see occasional stalls / freezes (everything stops). I can't reproduce it but the issue is there. For example, I can just click on a window and if the freeze happens at that point it's like nothing happened so I have to click again (happens totally randomly)
- Xbench just crashes roughly every 1 out of 3 runs (I run it like 10 times without the Disk Test so it finishes quicker)
Have any of you run Xbench on the new Mac Pros and found it that it crashes almost 30-40% of the time?
I'm quite worried that my Pro has some sort of hardware problem (it's also quite noisy). Should I call Apple Care and maybe ask for a replacement?
Thanks,
M
