Mac Pro (Late 2013) continually crashes.

My Mac Pro (Late 2013) is running 10.10.5 OS X Yosemite. It continually crashes. Here are the facts:

  • The computer is hooked up to a WXGA TV Display. It is a non name-brand display.
  • The computer freezes when:
    • It is streaming video

      Chrome Browser

    • Playing any sort of video located on my SSD or external drives.
      • iTunes
      • Quicktime
      • GoPro Studio
  • The screen will freeze, the sound will continue to play, and the rainbow wheel shows up.
  • The problem is intermittent. It happens randomly but only in regards to the bullet points above.
  • It has never frozen when reading articles or playing music.
  • Keyboard commands are unresponsive
  • I have to shut the computer down manually by holding the power button


I am at a loss as to what would cause this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
