Q: BUG in process suhelperd: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external)

I'm happy to believe that it's harmless but I see it quite often reported from other apps.

Getting back on topic, running Virtual Box and Microsoft Office apps is the typical recipe for disaster in my case. Usually right before a concall!

But no sense in blaming the apps, they all worked fine before.

Does this happen to the latest laptops or just us folks who haven't gotten the memo to upgrade?

Speak of the devil. I type this now having just crashed and rebooted while running Virtual Box.

Last messages in the logs before rebooting is a huge pile of GPU restart errors/output.

Well, I have heard it is happening to both. My machine is a little older, but it is an 2.93 eight core with 24 gig of ram and it just sings when running snow leopard, but yosemite has slowed it down a bit with the freezes and reboots. The only thing I can possibly think they may need upgrading is my video card. However, I can say this, the things I did earlier in this blog "> Shut off speak recognition, trash com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist, relaunch finder and restart." Have definitely helped no questions about it. It is now freezing every couple of weeks.

I may upgrade to a better video card and see if that helps. I've got a 500mb and I may go to a 1 or 2gig. I know it has to do with video ram and/or applications displaying graphics or video, gpu, vram, or something like that and a new video card may at least help the problem. I still am not sure what the deal is.

For me and my team, it happens when on wireless and wired and while doing a variety of tasks, but always when connected to a shared server which uses Active Directory. It has to be something with that connection.

That cannot be it for me. I am hardwired to internet and have no shared server. The only consistency I have noticed is safari. It has happened once in excel and about 30 times in safari. I still think it has to do with rendering flash content or video content.

No amelioration noticed with 10.10.3 ... Another GPU Panic with shelperd on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro...

I am downloading 10.10.3 now. Some told me to get rid of

com.google.keystone.agent.plist

and to get rid of any left over launchdaemon plists from previous systems

I did it and now waiting, not sure if it will help.

This has worked for me like a charm.

Daniel from Apple Care told me:

clear the files from the following folders :

1. ~/Library/Caches

2. ~/Library/LaunchAgents

3. ~/Library/Saved Application State

4. /Library/Caches

5. /Library/LaunchAgents

6. /Library/LaunchDaemons

7. /Library/StartupItems

Then these specific files

8. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

9. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

-Disable login items from ->system prefrences-> accounts or users and groups->login items->remove any un-used apps

Reboot and everything should be ok.
