Mac keeps restarting

Late 2013 Mac, 3.2.ghz. Added two 8 gig ram chips to the existing two 4 gig chips. Random system restarts. Ran Memtest numerous times and it says all the memory OK. I moved the 4 gig chips from slots 1 and 3 to slots 2 and 4. Put the 8 gig chips in the 1 and 3 slots. Here is the system report:

Remove the recently added RAM and determine if the crashes subside. If so, you found the reason. Reputable memory vendors guarantee RAM for life.


Ran Memtest numerous times and it says all the memory OK.

It is not possible for a system to reliably diagnose the system on which it is running. UseApple Diagnostics, although the only conclusive result is to identify a specific failure.
