Yeah I reset the pram a few days ago, it made the startup chime about 2,000x louder vibrating the foundations of the building - kernel panic at startup, right after the apple. I didn't realize what a mighty sound that startup chime can be at 150+ decibels - the military could be able to weaponize it somehow, it is not a peaceful experience. Tried removing the battery, kernel panic. Oh yes Ive looked around inside, not much there besides the ram risers, fans, hd, video card and mboard. Very orderly inside a Mac Pro, although I'd sacrifice the zen garden arrangement for a working Finder at this time. I looked for broken resistors (that what you call them?) and stuff, and things otherwise dangling or unconnected on the motherboard. Nothing seems amiss to a layman's eye.
