MP All Models PCIe SSDs - NVMe & AHCI

[handheldgames]

I mean postcheck, from the blank screen, of course.

So about 25 seconds including the post? That about matched the speed of a SATA III ssd on the SATA II bus.

Now something strage is happening: my MP sometimes just restarts without warning.
Very unsetteling. He does that also when it is idling.

If you can manage looking through a log file, your random restart problems are probably documented on your mac pro and can be exposed with this terminal command. In your case look for last shutdown:

sudo log show --predicate "processID == 0" --start $(date "+%Y-%m-%d") --debug​

It shows all of today's kernel msgs, including the boot process. If you only want the msgs since reboot, enter the date and time manually, like this, in 24h format:

sudo log show --predicate "processID == 0" --start "2018-10-28 13:19:00" --debug​

Bootdrive NVMe is with heavy heatsink (kryoM.2 evo PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter für M.2 NGFF PCIe SSD, M-Key mit Passivkühler) 35-38° celsius. Failing drive is the original MP 5.1 drive (old enough!) Already ordered replacement.

In the meatime, do you have another adapter just for test?

This is what is says, chinese to me. (no coder).

Nope. Should I?
[doublepost=1549915024][/doublepost]I'm now back on my former startupdisc (old pci ssd from OWC). If nothing happens here does that indicate something?

Just to delimit the problem

Was there luck? No reboots with your old startup drive?

 

[BelgianBoy]

No reboots on older drive. I'll reinstall system on the new SSD card drive.

I sincerely don´t think it´s a matter of soft.

 

[BelgianBoy]

On the reinstalled drive now. We'll see. If it happens again i'll get a new PCI card.

Dang, after 3 hours, restart. :-(

Maybe you can try extended AHT?

 

[BelgianBoy]

Can't find how to do that online. Tried the only thing i found on apple site: press "d" at startup. Failed.
So how do i do that on my cMP 5.1 in HS.

I can send you the ASD if you want

Tried to understand the method. Is not clear to me.
Besides this is old info i think: "guid partition" in HS seems impossible.

Download the AHT for your computer model and use the contents to restore (unhide and copy) copy to
/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics folder, then reboot while holding d to start the diagnostic tools.
/.diagnostics folder is hidden so you have to unhide it :
Open Finder and navigate to the folder you wish to use. Press the key combination Command-Shift-. (Period) to toggle between the two states.

Apple Service Diagnostics it´s far more extended test. It´s the oe taht are used in Apple Services

Is this hidden or not. Shortcut toggle does not seem to work.

Well this is unhidden .if it was hidden you would not be able to see it. Don't copy the whole folder just the contents . You see that file diags.efi together with the rest of them should go to the other diags.efi ( you don't need to override it) .
After you are done with copying hide the folder again .

Sorry, wich diags.efi ? The left one into the right folder (Mac-F221BEC8) or what? together with the rest of them?

 

[startergo]

The contents of the AHT download (MAC-F222BEC8) copied to ./diagnostics folder on your system drive .

 

[BelgianBoy]

Like so?

 

[startergo]

Like so?

Should be ok. Try booting and pressing D . You need to have a video card with a boot screen . Select extended test . Hide the folder again.

 

[BelgianBoy]

Hide folder before startup? Why? Tried startup with d pressed: no result.
Or should it be D? (shift-d)

Sudo bless -- folder "/System/Library/CoreServices"

And try hiding the folder and then hold d at reboot.
[doublepost=1550008717][/doublepost]or download this file change to the downloaded directory in terminal and run:

sudo ./AHT-my-disk.sh

 

[BelgianBoy]

Mac-Pro-van-Jan-P-Wouters:~ janwouters$ Sudo bless -- folder "/System/Library/CoreServices"
Password:
No volume specified
Mac-Pro-van-Jan-P-Wouters:~ janwouters$

What I get. Seems NOT ok.
[doublepost=1550048990][/doublepost]Nothing works. Again, I don't code.
