2009 5,1 installed apple security update, won’t fully boot.
If this thread exists somewhere please link me to it, I have not been able to find anything about this after digging for a bit.
I have a 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 running OS 14.6
2 Intel Xeon 2.66GHz 6-Core X5650 Processors
64GB DDR3 RAM (8x8GB)
4TB HDD
Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX580 (8GB)
Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge 2.0
Samsung 49" CHG90 144Hz Monitor.
The only issues I’ve ever had were on restarts I wouldn’t get a boot screen maybe 20% of the time. Otherwise everything has been fully functional with no issues for the past 2 years.
Yesterday morning my system preferences showed a security update so I restarted the computer to install the update.
After hearing it restart 3 or 4 seperate times, it finally came on and displayed a window asking which disk to use but showed no disks in the selection box. Only disk available is the 4TB HDD.
I couldn’t do anything but restart from there so I chose restart to see if it would show the disk the second time around.
This was the final time I’d see anything on the monitor from the computer.
Now any time I try to start it up it powers on, the HDD starts up, all fans including GPU start up, chime sounds, and that’s it. Nothing appears on the monitor. Then pressing the power button once more immediately powers off the machine.
I’ve tried multiple power cables, 2 different monitors, using DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI on the original ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Card, a GTX 680 2GB MSI Lighting Card and my current RX580. NVRAM resets, and tried to boot into recovery mode for each swap. Changed the PRAM BR2032 battery.
All of these changes were made after full disconnects from power for 5-7 minutes each, and only connecting the usb cable for the keyboard, the power cable, and the display cable. Also left everything completely disconnected for 12 hours and tried again to no success.
The NVRAM resets always get to the third or fourth chime then still nothing happens.
The monitor always turns on once the machine is powered on and searches for inputs with a signal, after cycling through all 4 inputs twice the screen goes dark. If I disconnect the cable from the port on the graphics card though, the monitor switches to a searching for input screen and stays on that screen until it’s reconnected and then goes dark again once connected.
I’m not sure if there’s something I missed as far as the regular steps to take for an issue like this but I’m at the point where I don’t know what else to do to get it to power on fully and appear on the monitor.
The machine is currently back to the original configuration I listed at the top.
Is it time to give up?
