10.3 Sierra fresh install crashing

As you can see at the bottom of my post, it's 10.12.1 on a Mac Pro 2013.

El Capitan was on my internal SSD which had 50gb's free space. This one was having this problem and a whole lot of others, like system freeze then kernel panic.

So I've installed a new fresh copy of Sierra on a 2TB rotational HDD. This one has 1.9 TB free space.

My media and libraries are stored on a Raid5 Pegasus R4, thunderbolt.

Here's my Etrecheck result.

I've installed them after I've had this problem anyway. I don't think it's about the login items.

I've been working with only FCPX installed for a while and still had the same problems.

Honestly, troubleshooting like this is just silly. FCPX should work properly with other stuff installed no matter what.

Alright, let's say it's ridiculous. Is one supposed to have a system that only has FCPX installed in order for it to work properly? This sounds pretty ridiculous too. Right?

These kinds of problems were only happening in windows when various crappy software were conflicting. This never happened to me on OSX with any other NLE software.

We all know there's a ton of crappy software out there and I don't think I'm installing loads of crap that slows down my system. More than that, it's not about slowing down either. I'm getting kernel panics and hangs on a freshly installed OS.

As of my knowledge, FCPX 10.3 is made to work best with Sierra. So let's get to the core of the problem without trying to find out if I'm installing other software that may interfere because that's not the case.

By the way, I've just been playing my footage in the browser, then I got the dropped frames warning.

It's definitely NOT a performance problem. I'm working with Prores Proxy files.

I hit OK, I hit play again, it's been beachballing since then. Any idea?

Tom, this is a fresh Sierra install that I've done two days ago. I've only installed the basic things that I need. The Etrecheck report is above and it includes all the connected peripherals and all the system specs.

I'll write them again :

Mac Pro 2013, my library is on a Raid5 Pegasus R4 connected through thunderbolt.

It's extremely weird because once FCPX crashes, the whole system stops responding to basic tasks, like opening up Activity Monitor.

Yes, the application is on my system drive.

I've just trashed the preferences. I've tried closing other running software before without any results. Will continue working to see if it crashes again.

I don't really think this will solve the problem, because it was also doing the same thing under my old El Capitan install. Didn't get any kernel panics in Sierra yet. I have to mention that these things are only happening under FCPX.

What hardware problem could it be? I've done a hardware test and it didn't find any problem.

It hanged again just now. I basically can't work on this project with the director next to me. Really frustrating.
