Hi Guru Wei,
My Mac Pro 3,1 year 2008 having Start Up problem recently (https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4268972).

Google around, found some troubleshooting tips and messed around for a week, problem remained!

Issue: Powered On the Switch, click sound ring, then Graphic Card's Fan spin, after a second, Mac Pro turned Off!

Hope to receive your advices before send this Sumo to repair/diagnose.

Thanks for help!

It need to be diagnosed if you have already tried troubleshooting it yourself.

Oh... I see. As your experiences, will my case high possibility caused by PSU failure? And, btw, for diagnosis procedure, how much around it cost nowadays?

Many thanks!

**update: left it for whole day, just now turned it on... Chime once... but after Chime was ring, immediately turned off. Then, problem remained again.

We are unsure what is wrong, that is the reason for diagnosis. Usually PSU failure the Mac would not even power on.

Thanks Wei, that was what I think so, it's Logic!
Then, only possibility is Logic Board now?

Could be GPU, Processor, Memory as well. Many reason for it to behave such.

Oh... I see. As your view, 2008, worth to repair?
