tell me about it!!!!!
After pressing that key combination all my apps closed and the screen woke up. turned on and off a couple of times and then my mac restarted! No
Mac Pro is out of my setup. I lost too much time and energy. Machine is still not stable after third GPU-B.....but Apple still insists to change that part. They obviously have no clue what is the problem. This is end of the road for me and Late 2013 Mac Pro.
Did you end up selling it? I'm just about to pick mine up after everything inside has been replaced.
Yes, and I gave buyer a warning and very good price. It is still under warranty.....maybe computer hates me

I might do the same if I have the same problem after they replaced GPU A, GPU B and the motherboard lol. The problem is I bought this machine recently and will definitely be at a somewhat significant loss.
What were you using the MP for and what will you be using now?
Post production mostly, Avid / Final Cut / Compressor. After this experience, I don´t know what to buy now....I need fast and reliable machine....
1. PC - no
2. Hackintosh - no
3. MacBook Pro Retina 15 - maybe
4. Mac Pro 2010 / 2012 - maybe (depends on condition and age)
5. iMac 27/5k - probably not
just wait till december/early 2016, TB3 is almost finalized, new AMD gpu's are out, there is a strong chance of a new mac pro with hopefully the GPU issues fixed.
mine thankfully is running strong after the repair a couple weeks ago.

If USB device is causing GPU restarts and WindowServer freezing....then BRAVO Apple
Only USB device that I am using is USB mouse, which is working perfectly on 3 other macs.
Oh boy... I just switched monitors and that fixed that... I wonder if it has anything to do with the monitors we have.
In my case the screen flickering was caused by the 60Hz refresh rate of the Dell P2415q UHD monitor. It completely disappeared by forcing a 50Hz refresh rate at whatever resolution. There was an identical flickering using boot camp and Windows 8 or 10. Miraculously the flickering in Windows is now gone even at 60 Hz. And even more miraculously there are almost no more hangs in Yosemite. The rare hangs in Yosemite can be resolved by disconnecting ALL TB connected peripherals and re-attaching the monitor, saving my work and rebooting. For now I have decided to live with that...
I can always resolve the hangs by disconnecting and reconnecting. The problem is that my Logic Pro X project takes like 10 minutes to load lol, which makes the rebooting a non solution.
It's most probably a driver issue that relates to 4K monitors, which is absolutely retarded.
HDMI is a non solution. The outdated HDMI ports (1.4 I believe) on these Mac Pros CANNOT run 4k at 60fps.
I've connected my ASUS ROG SWIFT monitor to it yesterday, still using DP (or thunderbolt) since it's the only input it accepts. It's a 1440p 144Hz monitor. Haven't had a problem so far.
I'm using a 20" cinema display till i can find a descent 4K monitor, and i have the same problems. So it's not limited to high res screens.
The screen resolution is 1680 x 1050.
At times i use two of these side by side, but the problem occurs with both one or two displays connected.
Hmm, that's odd indeed. I haven't had a problem since I've had my GPU replaced and started using the ROG Swift as my monitor.
these all sound like driver issues and Yosemite (which really is a ********) not playing nice with 3rd party monitors.
