MacBook Pro Keeps Crashing

About 1 month ago, my MacBook Pro started crashing. The screen locks up and then it hard crashes. At this point, it is after about 2 minutes of activity. I recently took it in to a repair shop and they upgraded the OS and reinstalled apps from scratch. When I re-login I get the Panic Report, but not any useful information to do more troubleshooting.

You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison. A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.


Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


ends in .panic post the whole report if it meets that.

What is the exact model of your laptop? You can get this information by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About this Mac" or by entering the system serial number here.


To test the memory for an extended time you can create a bootable Memtest86 USB drive using Etcher (Mac/Windows/Linux). Option Boot the Memtest86 drive and select the orange icon labeled "EFI". Once Memtest86 finishes booting it is safe to remove the USB drive. By default Memtest86 only runs for four loops, but this can be extended in the Test Options menu. Sometimes you may have to let the tests run for a day or two or even more before a failure may appear especially if you have a large amount of memory to test.


FYI, there is another option to run Memtest86 tests in parallel using other CPU cores, but this is disabled by default.

Normally using the "A" model designations is not recommended for identification because they can cover multiple models over several years. In this case it shows you have a 2016 or 2017 13" MBPro without a touchbar. This particular model has several free Apple repair programs associated with it. The most important one is for the SSD. See if you qualify for the free SSD repair program and keep the other programs in mind for any future issues. If you qualify for the SSD repair make sure to back up all your data as Apple will erase and reinstall macOS.

The photo of the screen and the posted panic report are caused by completely different issues. This is the start of a NON-Trend, where panics happen "all over the Map" for apparently unrelated issues. This correlates strongly with RAM Memory problems.


The reason this gives wonky symptoms is that MacOS slightly randomizes the load point of certain key routines as a hedge against fixed-address malware attacks. so the Bad memory cell moves into a completely different routine, and when if fails causes completely different havoc (or sometimes no havoc at all).


To get more evidence, you should try to run a memory test. It may take an overnight test to catch this failure in the act. The reason for the RAM soldered in place is that in portable computers, it increases the reliability (of the entire fleet of these machines) enormously. The downside is that when a problem does occur, a mainboard swap is required to fix it.


If Apple can be convinced to swap the mainboard, you will NOT be getting your same drive back, as the boot drive components are soldered to the mainboard as well. You need to make a full backup, and preferably two, and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant or be prepared to do a Restore when your Mac comes back to you.
