My computer freezes up and then reboots. Sometimes it reboots twice. I am not sure what is going on. Any thoughts? Both the crash report and Etre report are included.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
I have the same issue as you do with nearly the same hardware ( 27in iMac, Late 2013 14,2 ). The beach balling and hanging got so bad I tried did a reinstall of the OS through recovery, which did not help. I did a clean install which stabilized it, but it did reboot one time. This seemed to have gotten progressively worse after each update.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4 GB and your vid card is also NVIDIA. I did some searching on the net and I think it is related to the lack of NVIDIA support for Mac OS after 2015.
I stopped using the Brave Browser, and that seem to have help. Not really sure why, but have a feeling that it has to do with hardware acceleration support, or the lack thereof. I only use Safari ( especially for video ) and although I get a ton of faults in console it has not crashed the machine. At least not yet anyways.
Hope this help, but am still looking for a solution, short of buying a new machine.
Please post one or more panic reports
Finder -> Go (menu) -> Go to folder -> /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
Command-Shift-Period will show invisible files. Look for files that end in the word .panic or .contents.panic and post them in an Additional Text box
Press Command-Shift-Period to hid the Finder invisible files again.
_HighC_ this was very helpful. Thank you so much for the reply. It would explain so many things. If I remember, this started to happen after I installed Mojave. And it happens the most when I stream videos off of various sites or if something goes full screen. After much thought, I think I am going to get a new computer. The mini-mac seems to fit my needs.
czapp1,
I am glad I could provide some insight.
Another option would be to downgrade to High Sierra. Not sure exactly the steps involved, but I am looking to it. Also looking for a new machine, maybe the new 24in iMac. I think you would agree that old 27 iMac was awesome when it was still supported.
When I do this, the hidden files on my desktop display the hidden files but not in the finder folder. Not sure why.
