 Numerous users are reporting an issue where various Mac Pro models restart instead of waking from sleep. In other words, the user puts his Mac Pro to sleep, returns a few hours later and presses the space bar to wake the system only to witness the system restart.

One poster to Apple’s Discussion boards reporting the issue wrote:

“Occasionally, it reboots when being awakened after an overnight sleep. I have only Apple RAM in the Mac Pro. My Mac Pro is the ONLY thing on a dedicated 15 amp circuit and the Mac pro is connected to a new APC RS1500 UPS which can supply 865 watts. I have noticed that on waking up from sleep the UPS shows a maximum momentary draw of about 400 watts — well within the capacity of the RS1500 to supply. […] I should point out that this rebooting upon waking from sleep does not occur every time, but only occasionally. The machine always boots promptly and I never see any error messages either on screen or in the Console Log.”

A number of fixes have been suggested, but unfortunately, none appear to be permanent or universally successful.
