Q: help...my macpro 4,1 keeps crashing
Hi...I need some help. An oldtime apple user who for the first time in 30 yrs of apple use am running into a problem I need some help working through
I have a MacPro desktop (MacPro 4,1 early 2009 8 x 2.26ghz Nahelam)
I recently upgraded to El Capitan (10.11.1)and ever since (coincidental maybe?) the computer will quit and crash into a gray screen with a white circle with a slash in the middle of it. When I reboot, everything comes up normally again and I can work for a while, but eventually the computer will crash again.
I am trying to figure out if this is a software issue, hardware issue or what....can someone help or send me a link to where I can start trouble shooting the issue.
Below are the top parts the last couple crash reports as samples:
I have rebooted into SAFE mode and the crash still occurs.
thx in advance for any direction you can give me

1) what is the make, model and size of your boot drive?
2) hitachi 6tb NAS drives are 'disconnecting' in El Capitan. Check out xlr8yourmac web site for details. Maybe you discovered another.
3) to e the hd as the culprit, reinstall fresh osx on another drive In another slot.
