It's mainly Safari which crashes seemingly out of the blue. I cannot replicate it but I'm thinking it probably has something to do with PLEX which for anyone knows uses Safari for content management.
Prior to installing PLEX (a week or so ago) I would always get my steam games crashing out on me, but the steam app would be fine; specifically I play my games in windowed orientation rather than full screen if that makes a difference.
After installing PLEX Safari has acted up and would crash may be once every 15 minutes or randomly, not at all for 1-2 hours, very erratic.
Here is the error code I get:
I'm limited in the amount of characters I can post but the bolded part caught my eye. Since games and PLEX both use graphical resources that is my guess as to the problem. The card is a PC grade GTX 570 which has never acted on me before PLEX. I got random crashes from Steam but less frequent before Yosemite.
Please share your thoughts on what it could be. I'm very frustrated with this problem to the point that I want to get another graphics card to replace it or forego the aging Mac Pro and get the Retina iMac but the machine runs fine otherwise.
