Mac pro 8 core - osx 10.6.something (the latest snow leapord)
SSD drive.
16gb ram.
recently loaded pro tools onto it to edit a project im doing.
the other day i went to turn the computer on and it shut down when it got to the grey screen.
after days of trying a couple of different things.
the furthest I can get is holding down the power button, holding down the eject button and inserting the latest firmware on a disk.
it has a progress bar pop up twice then the loading sign comes up, then as the disk sounds like its about to load it shuts down.
Also tried the OSX disk to get to disk utility.
it says unable to repair disk in red, and that I need to back up everything.
Any help to get my system up and running, if only for a couple of days would be great.
I need to do some work before wednesday when Im back in the studio.
theres also work Ive done which I really dont want to lose.
I dont have time machine setup (YET)
