Most likely the power supply but first try hitting the CUDA reset button. It is located on the logic board between the front of the machine and the fan. Use a pencil eraser to do it.
UPDATE

Look in the upper left hand corner of the board. Go down to the second input socket , then just to the left of that. White button surrounded by silver square.

I just recently had to replace the logic board on my 4,1 (flashed to 5,1). Tore it down to the minimum specs as per the Apple Tech Guide and as soon as I installed the Processor Tray I was getting a flashing white light on the power.
It was either the PSU, the logic board (backpane), or the Processor Tray. I bought another cheap 4,1 Mac Pro that was running well and started replacing parts just one at a time. Only thing that fixed it was replacing the backpane.
Unfortunately, there was very little I could do to diagnose this besides replacing the pieces one by one.
Thankfully, I can now just order a replacement backpane and then rebuild the “new” Mac Pro and repurpose it or sell it.

About two weeks ago my mac pro tb the same incident happened. The energy in the office decreased during my work. Since then, my computer has been on, but after a while it shuts down and turns on the red light on the logic board. I believe there is no other solution but to change the logic board. In that case, it's better to buy another computer.
