Consistently getting Kernel Panic: failed: set_display_mode_and_vram failed

This is the 3 or 4th time in the past few days that i have had this issue, but i've had at least probably 10 times over the last year. it seems to happen when tabbing between applications, possibly when i'm accessing one on a different display.


I have Two Displays hooked up to my Mac Pro, one is an Elo via DVI to HDMI dongle, and a 27" thunderbolt display

Some readers here believe those issues, seen only on the MacPro 2013 model, are graphics card failures.


There has been a special service program for the D500 and D700 graphics processors, but the D300 (which you have) was not included.


You would need to take this up with the Genius Bar at an Apple-owned store , if possible (your appointment should be free), or AppleCare Phone Support (but they will likely ask for a payment if out of warranty).


They will undoubtedly ask you to re-Install MacOS without ANY extensions, after erasing your drive completely. (Of course you must have a Trusted Backup to do this or you lose all your data .)
