Reinstalling the macOS:

This is a consistent error, and it is occurring on every download, correct,


If So, then you need to Reinstall the macOS:

Sometimes, changes are made to your Mac (i.e. Updates), and then settings (i.e. for Safari), become manipulated, technically. So, reinstalling the macOS will place moved items back to where they should be, and will replace damaged system files.

1. First, Back up your Mac:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall.


2. Then, Reinstall the macOS:

Nothing would be deleted. It's just that items that have become corrupted or deleted, would be replaced or reinstalled back to where they should be. Go Here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support

Scan your Mac for Malware: 

Whatever the software is, scan your Mac for Malware (Malicious Software). Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found from the quarantine. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller

What is the brand and model of your new SSD?

Seem like your Mac is acting all weird overt it. The log files says IONVMeFamily kexts crashed.

I saw a few informations in the past few weeks about Macs being finicky with some SSD models like from Kingston, etc., but I have no idea if with specific models or what. We must investigate.


I’d say, if possible, remove the new SSD stick, clean the contacts (isoprop alcohol, vinyl eraser), put it back, reset SMC and NVRAM, create a new USB stick with a bootable macOS installer, remove partitions and everything from the SSD and reinstall macOS.
