Hi. My Mac Pro 3,1 had some trouble (spontaneous restarts). Long story short: I changed the GTX 660 videocard back to the GT 8800 and then it worked fine again. Unfortunately, the GT 8800 doesn't do 3840 x 2160 / UHD / '4K' so I ordered a (MSI) GT 710. I could not get any signal from it via...

Hello! I'm having some issues with my build's system definition. A week ago, a upgraded my gpu to a MSI GTX 970. Since this change, I'm having trouble booting. It almost never boots at once. It reboots and then perhaps it boots. Here is my build: I am running yosemite 10.10.5, with an i7...

Hi guys I have been fortunate enough to get my hand on a Mac Pro 3,1 from work. my boss didn't think it was worth anything anymore and was going to trough it out. So I asked if i could have it, and here im sitting with a free Mac Pro, laughing at my bosses foolishness. I primarily want to use...
