New mac pro broken ? Tell me its not !

Have you tried resetting the PRAM. It goes a long way to fix hardware problems. My Pro was hanging almost every shutdown after installing 10.6 (sitting there with nothing but the desktop background and never shutting down). So I did the PRAM reset and it hasn't happened since.

Hold Command + Option + P + R until you here the bong a second time.

When you transferred data from the old drive to the new one, did you do it manually or use migration assistant?

Also, when you installed OS X on the new drive, was it working fine until you moved data over? If thats the case, there's clearly a software conflict. You might need to reinstall OS X again and then manually transfer files, reinstall apps etc.

You can also try a hardware test press n hold d with the install disk inside. Then it will come up with a report n stuff of anything that's wrong

You can also use carbon copy cloner which copies all your data. And makes the drive bootable hope this helps somewhat. And good luck

Thanks to everyone who has helped me, and I've finally resolved the issue.

Yesterday I installed smartsleep which allows you to control how your mac sleeps and I set it to sleep only, essentially disabling hibernation/safe sleep.

However I sometimes still had the issue when restarting, and the final thing I did that seems to have fixed everything was resetting the PRAM.

Again, thanks to everyone who posted, I appreciate it guys !
