Apparently out of the blue, I have started to experience random crashes on my Mac Pro 4.1, flashed to 5.1. It's running High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G9016), with 48Gb of Ram and two cards (one GT120 and a flashed MacVidCard Titan X Pascal). It is a soft crash in the sense that it just logs me out of my session and then I need to log in again, so it doesn't completely reboot.
However it's very annoying since I can't finish any task properly and need to reopen all the files I might be working with, which generally deal with heavy graphics (CAD applications or video editing).
I am not fluent in reading crash logs, so any help reading this one is much appreciated. Here's the last crash log:
