I had this issue a few month back with mine : 2x8 nehalem

Had to do if I recall right with resetting the PRam in the macpro.
I think i had to disconnect the main power supply cable wait 15 seconds.
replug with holdind the start button till you get to 2 beeps.
It should be good after that
If not the answer is on the mac apple site
good luck

What the heck. I called (long distance) 4 times. Each time after giving me a message Avid hung up on me! In the meantime, my computer is consistently not booting.
