Q: Kernel Panic: Sudden Reboot with White screen
Hello Everyone,
I am have issues with my Mac Pro early 2008 recently. Basically, whilst using the mac without any serious app running - just Safari open my El Captain suddenly crashes and then momentarily freezes on 'White screen with Coloured spots dancing ants.' Then GFX card clutches and then restarts to load el Captain again...
Upon Reloading the Mac OSX I got this Error report:

Could Someone Decode and explain what I need to do to fix this issue? I suspect my Aftermarket nVidia GFX card or my USB 3.0 PCIe card may have to do with that problem - Guessing?
Please Experts help me thank youuuuuu:)

I agree with Grant Bennet-Alder advice, it's a graphic card failure. You need to replace it.
