Hello

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to 5,1, 3.33 ghz 12 core dual processor which I have owned for 9 months. For all of that time it has been a dream to use. Fast, stable and reliable.

Then over the last week it has begun crashing all the time. The crashes are not program specific, which suggests system or hardware problems. The crashes occur when I am not doing anything difficult or taxing for the machine. I must have had over 10 crashes today, some only minutes apart.

Most the the machine freezes, clock stops and nothing happens. Sometimes the machine just crashes and automatically restarts. It has even crashed during a restart. It is not temperature related, the crashes are not occurring with high fan speeds. The machine has not been moved or dropped.

Here is the crash log.

Today I updated the system to see if that would help but the crashes are still occurring. I am thinking it is a hardware problem although I have not made any changes to the hardware since I bought the machine.

If anyone can see from the log something which could be causing the problem please let me know.

I am not 100% certain but I'm sure you need a new hard drive. Is the hard drive making any clicking or scratching sounds? Before that, try this:

Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

Release the keys.


Also, either try repairing disk permissions in disk utility or reinstall the OS. However, I think the worst could be that the Flash went wrong, but I am not sure.
 
Yeah, just try all the PRAM, SMC reset, boot into the recovery partition, repair disk and permission. May be a clean install OS as well. If nil help, run the Apple Hardware Test and try to locate the faulty hardware.
 
Do I see 2 BTs?

Any time you want to isolate a problem, you need to start yanking stuff.

FI, you have 2 GPUs, try with one out, then the other.

Use different RAM sticks, if there are 2 separate BT modules, remove one, etc.

Standard troubleshooting
