MP 1,1-5,1 MP4,1 crashing. Need some help sifting the tea leaves.

[PinkyMacGodess]

My faithful MacPro4,1 is getting a little spacey lately. It's crashed a few times. Nothing leaving any real messages as to what's going on.

Last month I blew out all the dust, and apparently some of the magic dust keeping it running spotless for years. I'm hoping this isn't a seriously bad thing.

But here is the latest crash. I just left it, and it crashed, came back and had to relogin. I can't afford to replace this workhorse, so hoping I can keep it among the living for a few more years. (Unless someone has a trashcan Mac Pro, really cheap)




Thanks for any assistance. I can't make anything out. I mean there are some things that look odd, but I don't look at mac logs all day to know if they really are odd.

Thanks...

No one has a clue? I guess that's good news. I had an I7 thermal. That really sucks. I had to trash the system. Ouch.

You have a Core i7 in your Mac Pro ?

 

[krakman]

It would help to know what system you have? Operating system version and any upgrades you have made to the computer

4,1, 2 2.26 quad core Xeons, 6g RAM, 10.11.6, no hardware upgrades except for an Apple video card, so largely just a stock box. Pretty boring, but has been my number one system for a really long time. I will be crushed if it fails...

No i7. I mentioned that because out of the blue my main Windows system cooked out and died. I was shocked. It was in a cooler room, and didn't have a ton of detritus inside. I tried a different processor, and it didn't resurrect it. ?

These log entries seem related to the AirPort Extreme, Wi-Fi. It's not uncommon after all these years the AirPort transceiver to fail, I had to replace several cards.

If you connect via Ethernet, try to remove the card physically and check if your KPs stop.
