MacBook Pro Panic Reboots

My old macbook pro is shutting down almost every time I use it just surfing the interwebs. Here is the panic report. Can anyone interpret?

I think you have a failing Discrete GPU chip. This is a 2011 15" MacBook Pro, and they are notorious for failing Discrete GPU chips. I own one myself.


I suggest you look at

gSwitch (macOS 10.12 or newer)

and disable your Discrete GPU and run on the integrated intel GPU. That is how I keep, my 2011 15" MacBook Pro in service.
