Q: mid-2010 MacBook Pro (El Capitan) random restarts kernel panics

I am getting constant kernel panics that randomly restart my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I am running OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan (successfully, otherwise). These crashes happened in El Capitan as well as in Mountain Lion and have been happening for months. When I run the Apple Hardware test it comes up with the very unhelpful code of -3403D (which I can't seem to find much info about). I have trouble shot it in so many ways but I am at my wits end (clearing caches, LaunchAgents, extensions, PRAM reset, verifying disk - with no problems, turning off fouled fonts, Spotlight turned off SSD momentarily, cleaned Mac itself, updated all applications, removed all Google/Chrome, adware/malware sweeps, etc.). Sometimes it restarts 4 or 5 times within an hour. Sometimes it will run the whole day without crashing. The kernel panics might be due to the gfx card (Built-in - Intel HD Graphics 288 MB, PCle - NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M). When I manually make the computer run in Integrated Only it seems to be better, but if the computer falls asleep it will change back to Dynamic Switching and inevitably my computer crashes. Is there a way I can make it permanently in Integrated only (I don't know if this is bad or not...)? Or can I remove the PCle NVIDIA? This may not be the issue but I am requesting some help in this... I pasted the latest panic report below, just in case you need it. Thank you...
