My Mac Pro freezes up after I installed Final Cut Studio 2
I just installed Final Cut Studio 2 on a new Mac Pro 2.8Ghz 8Core Intel running Leopard 10.5. It installed just fine but when I restart the computer it freezes up about 10 seconds after reboot. I restart again and it does the same thing. Any ideas on how this might be happening would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I guess the next thing would be to take it to the Apple store and have them take a look at it.
Thanks,

Well, since its new and you are just starting to install everything. Just put in your restore disks and restore the computer to its original configuration.
As a tip… After you reinstall Leopard, run all of the updates for it possible. You really need Leopard to be 10.5.2 before you install FCS2.
Next thing I need to ask… How much memory do you have and is it third party memory?

Thanks so much Wayne. At this point it’s got just the two gigs of ram it came with. We’ll be adding more, but that’s what’s in it now.

Hmmm…
You said this is a new computer. Is it brand new or did you buy it from someone slightly used? I ask because I know there is a firmware update for the new Early 2008 Mac Pro system. Have you run the firmware upgrade yet?
Do that, and then do a clean reinstall of Leopard from the disks that came with your computer. After that, run all of the updates possible until you get no more. This will bring you up to 10.5.2 and Quicktime 7.4.5. Then you can install FCS2. Make sure that you run Software Update after installing it. There are updates for FCS2.
If you are still getting issues, I would contact your local Apple store if you have one or contact Apple using your support.
