[QUOTE="slyhats, post: 819085, member: 92034"] [b]Solution![/b] After reading a thread on the Apple support forum, [/URL] [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3040563]Apple - Support - Discussions - Restart Woes - What Could Be the Cause? ...[/url] I tried one last test. I installed the orignal Apple ram 2 x 512mb. I can now restart my computer with no clicks and no stalling. It seems the 3rd party Ram I was using was overheating and causing the problem. Although I have had this RAM installed for a couple of years and no prior problems, it seem it just can't handle the heat anymore. I now have to send the RAM away for replacement under warranty because 1gb on a mac pro is like going to bed with a beautiful woman who keeps her clothes on. :o I am still curious to know what exactly was clicking, because it wasn't the hard drive.
