(See specs below)
I have a Mac Pro from Early 2009 that keeps crashing at random times, but it seems to crash more often when watching a YouTube video.
When it crashes, the mac freezes for about 2 seconds and then turns off. There's never a beach ball and never a shut down cycle. Then it restarts.
I took it into Apple and they accessed it. They said that everything is fine, but I should reformat all four HDDs, which I did. Then two days later, while watching a YouTube video, my computer crashed again.
So, is this a HDD issue? or is this a graphics card issue? or possibly OSX?
