Re: Mac Pro crashes

The vast majority of crashes of these nature are one of two types: hardware or faulty device drivers. And the latter generally only manifests with pre-release stuff such as Leopard builds or low level stuff like haxies or non-Apple device drivers.

I'd bet a pint of the creamy stuff that it's hardware.

Check your cooling and the internal temperature. There are utilities out there for that.

Make sure your RAM is adequately seated. Chips that come loose are a prime cause of these sorts of problems. Also check cabling.

If you've replaced your RAM, check it is compatible.

Get a system test utility that runs low level diagnostics and leave it running overnight. Make sure it creates and flushes a log file.

Do a Google search for kindred spirits and learn from the path they've trodden.
