This issue seems a bit more widespread, so I wanted to make a thread specifically for it. I was assuming that it wouldn't stand out too well under the bugs thread.
This issue could be the result of several different factors, some of which may not apply to certain users. I personally have a 2009, 8-core Mac Pro that's running a non-flashed GTX 660 OC GPU.
Every now and then, when I go to Safari, it will immediately bring up a crash report before the application can even present itself. (I'll post the report once I get another one.) My brother also has had this issue on his 2008, 8-core Mac Pro running with a non-flashed GTX 650 Ti GPU. I am unsure as to whether or not the GPUs are the issue here, but there is definitely some instability here that I am only seeing with El Cap on this machine, and it seemed to only start with this current version of El Cap. If I can recall, such issues were not present with the earliest version of El Cap. [Note that I am running this with the latest Nvidia Mac driver.]
-----------------------------------------------------
The ONLY common issues I am seeing are obviously graphical (although could be unique to El Capitan), where the menu bar on my desktop will sometimes flash (or certain things running on it, like Hardware Monitor) will. Certain icons sometimes go white on it as well, but it's generally not an issue. The white icons thing is also an upon-bootup thing.
Has anyone else experienced Safari crashes? At one point, I'd also get a spinning wheel when opening my power manager pref, but that's no longer the case. It could be the GPU, but others have said that these run fine. Also, prior versions of Mac OSX likely didn't have any of these issues, esp. with a non-flashed card.
