Q: Mac Pro Early 2008 Kernal Panic with any Nvidia Video Card
About two weeks ago there was a thunderstorm. When I woke up I discovered my computer was a victim. I have 2 video cards in my Mac Pro early 2008, and ATI Radeon 2600 and an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT. After some troubleshooting I discovered the computer would boot with just the ATI card in, but if I had the GeForce card in it would constantly kernel panic. Didn't matter which slot it was in, and it didn't matter which slot the ATI card was in, it worked perfectly fine. So, I assumed my GeForce card was toast. So... I ordered a Nvidia Quadro FX 5600. Installed it, and I'm having the exact same issue. So now I'm thinking it's the OS. So I installed Mac OS 10.11.5 on one of my other internal drives. Same issue when booting to that. If either Nvidia card is in my Mac Pro, the computer KP's.... But put the ATI card in there alone and it boots fine. I made sure I even downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Nvidia for the GeForce card, no luck... What the heck is the issue? Could this be a hardware issue? It seems like that to me but it's just boggling my mind that the ATI card works in the same slot... Below is the crash log if ANYBODY could help me shed some light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
