My Mac Pro experiences a kernel panic about every 15 minutes of light use. I’m trying to figure out what’s behind it but unfortunately I can’t decipher a crash report. Last night up updated to Sierra from El Capitan but that did nothing to help with the frequency of crashes. The specs are: 2009, 5.1, 20GB of RAM, with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card and the most updated drivers for 10.12.6. I’m trying to work on some freelance projects but that’s impossible with all of these crashes. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out. Here’s the panic report, I’ve got more if that’s helpful.

a Machine check error... oh boy those are not fun

a machine check error usually indicates you have Bad RAM. (worst case would be a bad CPU/Memory controller)

so I recommend you run memtest or the like on your machine and see if any of your RAM sticks are going bad, you can also check system profiler for ECC errors.
