Photoshop CS6 Crashing iMac High Sierra
I can't remember exactly when this issue started, but I believe it was my last update to High Sierra 10.13.16 last year
Only when I'm performing specific high CPU tasks in Photoshop, the entire system crashes. Black screen on the computer, have to restart. No Apple crash report shows up upon restart, but apps like Lightroom and Chrome will recognize they were shut down improperly.
Usually happens when I'm utilizing the patch / healing tool in Photoshop, often have Lightroom also running but not always. Currently my only work around is to save often and go as slowly as possible to prevent CPU overload.
EtreCheck says performance is Excellence. Diagnostics reports no problems.
Anyone else having this issue?? Any solutions?

Can anyone decode the EtreCheck report on the crash for me?:
