I have MacPro 5,1 with Mojave.
It's great when it is running but it randomly just freezes which makes to reboot.
Sometimes, I can run it for a month without a problem, then once a week or 3 times a week, it just so random.

I have 2 X 3.33 GHz and 48GB.
HD8950 3GB
running fusion

Is there a way to find out why it froze?
Do you think it could be fusion drive that is causing it?

You will also see the log after reboot in the dialog, where the system asks you to send a report to Apple. You can make it affirmative, see the details, copy it, and then deny forwarding it to Apple.

Panic logs are limited but you can typically see a portion of the call stack with the driver or system that failed.

I got to the log, but have no clue what I should be looking at.
I suspect the fusion drive, buy a cheap 860 evo 500gb ssd. try and clone the drive and test that out, see how it goes. Fusion has been suspect for a longtime now. Another thing you could do is download dx drive and see the life of the fusion, if it seems all good, then maybe the power supply or the backplane.
