Every time I shutdown the computer I remove the cards and place them again sometimes i have to remove them even 10 times before it works. The digitest shows no errors. Any ideas why is this happening? anything would be helpful thanks

Whenever I see someone post with the specs of a 2009 a MacPro, I always want to jump in and try and help them out! Just want to make sure you realize that you can upgrade that 8 core to a 12 core, then upgrade the firmware to make it a 5.1 Mac Pro. After you do that the geekbench scores will be over 30,000. And turn that computer into a monster of a machine all for less than, about $400!

I am more than happy to help you out with the process, just send me a private message, and we can get the ball rolling.
