MacBook Pro Crashing

Hi,


I have my old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) crashing with following report.

Any idea or suggestion what could be the cause?

Hi,

Page fault tends to be RAM related issue. Try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports something memory related error.

Install gfxCardStatus (https://gfx.io) and set it to "i" (integrated graphics only). It will allow your MBP to run on integrated graphics only, bypassing the discrete GPU which has the issues. This may allow your MBP to run normally, although it will have reduced graphics performance when performing demanding graphics tasks. The alternative is replacing the logic board, which is not cost effective on a machine that old, unless gfx does not resolve the issue and you really want to keep this MBP.


There is an acknowledged bug in the current version of Cody Kreiger's Open-Source gfxcardstatus, and the developer has confessed he does not have time to fix it right now.


There is a fork off the main build by steveschow available that seems to fix that problem for current versions of MacOS such as ElCapitan and Sierra. He provides a finished .app for direct download -- you do not have to compile anything.

These were developed for the 2010 and 2011 models.
