10.6.8 Macpro Quad core
When I boot my macpro I hear the chime it starts spinning. Than before it can reach the desktop and get a full boot, it just shuts off.
So I after some panic I pulled one of the 4 HDs out. It booted up and worked. However just today same issue. I pulled the second drive out, and now after a few tries it is on? I have 2 of my 4 drives running.
Not sure if it is truly the power supply? How do I know if it is a bad startup drive, mother board batt, bad seated pci card, ram?
Do I just gamble buy a power supply go online try to figure out what to buy and how to install it? Hope that gamble pays off? Power supply is kinda expensive love to diagnose it if that is possible? Any tips or suggestions before I begin?
