OK, here's the situation. I moved to a new office and a new computer after someone left. It's a late 2006 Mac Pro running 10.4.11 with Nvidia Quadro FX 4500. The Power supply fan is always running at 2800rpm from startup.
I've reset the SMC and PRAM
Plug directly into wall
tried Using SMCFanControl
Dusted it out (there was none)
All temps are normal (amb -72, PowerSup 1&2 77&72)
Tried another fan, still goes at high speed
Hardware test gave me this error code - 4M0T/1/40000003S
I'm stumped. I guess what I need to know is what that error code means and/or what controls that fan speed, ambient board or a board in the power supply itself?
Any help would be appreciated, I've been working with the sound of a low flying aircraft for weeks now.
