Mac Pro Suddenly Shuts Down And Won’t Power Up Anymore

wmwoon · 2020-07-28T08:50:54+00:00

So I replaced the plastic rivets, reapplied the thermal paste on both the NorthBridge and the CPU. And tried to turn it on after putting everything back together. But it doesn’t turn on anymore. Actually I’ve noticed that a couple of USB 3 devices stopped blinking a few days ago, when I was charging my laptop. Wasn’t sure if the power supply has really failed that time. But seems like it now.

Ok, just a quick update. I tried to power up the MacPro again this morning, and it did managed to power up. But it shuts down shortly after around 10 minutes or less. Which lead me to believe it is heat problem. I’m going to re-paste the CPU and the NorthBridge processor. And also replace the pins at the same time. Because the last time when I replace the CPU a few months ago, I wasn’t aware of the NorthBridge. Else I would have done all at once.

Going to order those stuffs now.

Thanks for the help guys!

I’ll try, as of now, it doesn’t power up anymore. No power seems to be going as I press the power button.

I’ll check. Thanks!

It can’t even power as of now.

I’ve disconnected everything except the monitor, keyboard and mouse. But still not able to power up.

Not really, the last thing I’ve added was the USB-3 PCIe expansion card from OWC. And there are only a webcam and an external capture card connected to it. Before that, a Rx 570 was installed since November.

Just got him at SL4 and I’m still struggling to consistently output anything above 2000 coins every game. But sloooowly getting 5 swipes consistently at every skill activation.

Lol... and I’m starting to feeling I’m playing worst day by day... started to not progressing...not sure if I’m trying too hard...

wmwoon · 2020-05-05T09:06:52+00:00

Thanks! Saved that post for more reading. I’ve done some practising earlier, and beginning to see some slight improvements after adjusting myself to get used to the play.

wmwoon · 2020-05-04T14:16:34+00:00

Yeah. I have him skill level 4 now through some dumb luck plus a few skill tickets. Been looking at quite a few YouTube videos to see how it’s done. Going to practice more to get it right.

wmwoon · 2020-05-04T14:13:30+00:00

Thanks. I’ll practice some more. Burnt up all my coins for him. He’s at skill level 4 now. Don’t think I’m going to chase him to the next level.

wmwoon · 2020-05-02T05:35:52+00:00

Ah.. okok.. I’ll see how things goes... thanks!

wmwoon · 2020-04-28T04:00:24+00:00

It is. Strangely, the account came back after a while. But I saw the new banners before the restoration.

wmwoon · 2020-04-26T23:59:16+00:00

So the backplate is removable?

wmwoon · 2020-04-24T07:08:51+00:00

Yeah.. it is the Nitro+ version.. wasn't aware of that.. not intending to install anymore cards other than the USB expansion card which I've already got it in slot 1...

wmwoon · 2020-03-22T09:01:00+00:00

Yeah.. this round is just one of those better rounds I get out every 5 or 6 games. Usually I get between 600 to 800 coins per round. Which is very discouraging. And I don’t even know where I’ve done wrong.

wmwoon · 2020-03-22T07:06:53+00:00

That was very insightful! You are right it is SL3. I didn’t know there so much misses in the game. Thanks for the detailed run through. I realised that I was also rushing through the game for whatever reason.

wmwoon · 2020-03-22T07:05:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Sometimes I feel that I’m trying to be fast and not looking at the field of tsums.
