[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1823965, member: 56379"] Two thoughts: 1. Could be the beginning of the power supply going bad (partial failure)...but usually you don't hear that many "SNAPS" before a PS dies...usually it's one BIG POP...followed by some stinky smoke. 2. Here's a crazy idea...maybe your Mac Pro is acting like a bug-zapper.;) Maybe the occasional bug (spider, moth, fly, ant, mosquito, etc.) is getting in there...finding something highly charged...and getting ZAPPED! - Nick [/QUOTE]
