I'm on an early 2009 Mac Pro 5.1 running OSX 12.5.1 with 2x3.46 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor and a Radeon RX 580 gfx card.

Best I can tell is that I am running Bless OpenCore 1.3.

An expert configured this system for me at great expense back in 2022 and for the last 4 years the system has run flawlessly.

However, in the last week I am having non-stop kernel panics.

I am attaching the crash report and a ChatGPT analysis.

ChatGPT took a look at my crash report and in the final analysis said this:
"The root cause is almost certainly GPU patching on a MacPro5,1"

And suggesting this:
Step 1: Reduce GPU patching complexity (biggest win)
If you are using OpenCore:
* **Disable or simplify Shiki flags**

Can anyone help with suggestions?

Thank you,

ED

Remove the old EFI and Build OpenCore and install it via OCLP and you should be good to go. Don't forget to reset PRAM.
