[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1697751, member: 56379"] It sounds like you have what I would call two groups of ram. The original 4x2gig (when you purchased the computer)…and the 2 x 8gig purchased later. Just so I understand 100%. - Are you saying that the 2x8gig of ram and the 5,1 firmware upgrade were done at the same time? - And are you saying that you are not using the 2x4gig of ram that came with the Mac Pro originally…because of the shutdown problem? - Also…how long have you owned this Mac Pro? Did you purchase it recently...and upgraded it right away? Or have you owned it for a while…used it with the original 2x4gig of ram (and used it as a 4,1 Mac Pro)…and it ra fine until the 5,1 upgrade & the 2x8gig of ram? Did you blow air thru the heat sink cooling fins? A lot of dust/dirt can accumulate in there. - Nick p.s. Just like harryb mentioned. I'm thinking that the ram is the problem. [/QUOTE]
