Low Current CPU fault
can I change or upgrade the CPU to solve this?
Update
Following Up, the Apple Hardware Diagnostic appears only available in this machine when starting with "hold D key" while install disk is in the optical drive.
However that process stalls out at 36 minutes 7 seconds. I suspect that 18 Gb of RAM and a Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac are really beyond what that Hardware Test issued in 2008 is capable of wading through with out being watched over night.
So no more process towards reporting an error code. . . sorry
Maybe more at another time, computer has not repeated the Restart on its own that prompted the tests with TechToolPro 8 ( imaginary comfort that) thanks
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Do you have a UPS? It could also be a power fluctuation in the AC.

Dan, Unlikely low power, major Symphony Hall in major City. The Restart on its own has happened to my substitute while I was on Vacation as well, I've just learned. Never had a power issue on the MacPros here in 20 years. Run UPS on Lighting Control Consoles and they have not yelped during these incidents.
This is a "special build" configuration although stock to Apple as has single Quad Core 2.8MHz CPU. So is the A CPU buss empty? Does TechToolPro8 know if that is the case, and then would that be the low current? But, why the self restarts if it is a diagnostic error?
Appreciate your input,
Jim
