Startup sound 3 times???

[Trogledyte Mac]

Hi all,

A need for some help
Yesterday it was the first day when the problem started... Sometimes when I started my Mac Pro 2.66 and running leopard (update) I hear 3 times the startup sound😕
Friday I cleaned (2 times already) my X 1900 xt card and Saturday the problem appeared 😱

Sometimes it need more then 10 startups before it shows up again.....🙄

Any help here?
Thank you and regards,
Mac

Try booting while holding command+option+P+R until you hear the startup sound a second time.

How did you "clean" your card?

did you update any software? sometimes when you update software it boots more than once...

Thx BlueRevolution,
I will try that.

I remove it just like the instructions says it without no problems clean it with air pressure the copper heat blades (always a lot of dust there) 😀

Thx steveca,
I did a Leopard update a few days ago 😉

But now you mention it... I forgot almost it... I added yesterday also a USB hub 🙄 Maybe... 😕

In that case, I'd suggest giving Apple a call. Is it under warranty?
