Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) Nehalem 8 Core - Keeps Crashing. Bad core?
So for the last few months, my Mac Pro has kept crashing and restarting for seemingly no reason (even if it's just left idle). I've tried parsing through the error report but my knowledge goes only so far. From what I can see is that there is a problem with one of the cores. Am I on the right track? Can anyone help me?
Mac Pro 4,1
2x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xenon
24 GB 1066MHz DDR3 RAM
OSX 10.9.4
Here's the error report:
