My Mac Pro never boots first attempt, the power light comes on and things start up inside the machine, but no chime, and no picture. Occasionally, simply forcing a restart does the job. However, mostly I have to turn off the power at the mains, keep the power button pressed in for 20 seconds and let go, switch mains power back on, then start the machine as normal. Having gone through this process nine times out of ten the machine will chime, if it chimes then it will go on to display a picture and boot up.
Sadly that is not the end of the story! Once at the desktop, I find that the NVMe drives are not there. However, if I let the machine warmup for about 5 minutes and then restart, everything will work as it should and the NVMe drives will show on the desktop.
Any help overcoming these issues would be most welcome. Thank you.
