[QUOTE="Afisherco, post: 1699074, member: 368873"] I’m getting a blank white screen on startup and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Specs: Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008) 8GB ram El Capitan (most recent update) At some point overnight the computer crashed, I came downstairs to black screens this morning and when I rebooted I started getting the write screens and nothing else. I am unable to start in safe mode (same white screens). I WAS able to use command+R to start in recovery mode. I ran first aid on the main HD, no errors. I tried doing an in-place reinstall of El Capitan but that did not help. I am able to ssh into the computer to look at logs and such, here’s what I’ve found. Any help would be amazing. I'm about to head out of town for the weekend so I won't be able to try anything right away but I will be reading and I can reply here. Using top I see that the ReportCrash process is constantly going. /var/log/system.log keeps repeating these lines: Jan 28 14:06:00 Aarons-Mac-Pro lsd[1325]: LaunchServices: Scheme mapping file does not exist, creating file. Jan 28 14:06:01 Aarons-Mac-Pro diagnosticd[119]: error evaluating process info - pid: 1325, puniqueid: 1325 Jan 28 14:06:01 Aarons-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.lsd[1325]): Service exited due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11 Jan 28 14:06:01 Aarons-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.lsd): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 1 seconds. Jan 28 14:06:01 Aarons-Mac-Pro ReportCrash[1320]: Saved crash report for lsd[1325] version 728.6 to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/lsd_2016-01-28-140601_Aarons-Mac-Pro.crash Jan 28 14:06:01 Aarons-Mac-Pro ReportCrash[1320]: Removing excessive log: file:///Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/lsd_2016-01-28-140524_Aarons-Mac-Pro.cra sh Here's the contents of the .crash file referenced above: [url]http://textuploader.com/57j13[/url] [/QUOTE]
