OS X EL Capitan crashes and shuts down my computer 2-3 times a day

I installed OS X EL Capitan and since the install my computer crashes and shuts down 2-3 times a day. There is no logic or pattern to these crashes. Anyone else having this issue?

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), iOS 9.0.2

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive


Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.


Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive


Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.


When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.


Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.


Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I'm running into the same issue. Bought this Macbook pro from my sister and didn't wipe it clean. Probably should have. Here is the log of my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm having similar issues with El Capitan crashing. You can see from the etrecheck that it crashed 5 times within a 5 hour span today. I had the same problem with Yosemite, but no issues whatsoever when I was running 10.6.8. I've done a number of clean reinstalls and been to the genius bar at my local Apple Store numerous times to address the issue, but no luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Mark

Jun 6, 2016 12:21 PM in response to Barney-15E

Hi Barney,


Any idea what this crash report means? I'm guessing my GPU is broken. I get many random crashes and, as i DJ, this is most unhelpful.

I have graphics switching disabled on a mid 2010 MBP. Im hoping it's not a logic board fault but fearing the worst. Any help tips to resolve this from any members of the community would be gratefully received.

Rational, common sense reply with a couple of other items possibly causing this issue (from a long list of various possibilities). Issue can also be due to faulty HDDs or, especially, SSDs where the problem cannot be replicated when tested or diagnosed.


E.g. we had two Samsung SSDs, within a two month period, that were causing issues (guess all Samsung SSDs are problematic!). Our Mac Pros (work stations) were either shutting down infrequently or starting from the recovery. The drives were tested several times each. The drive errors or issues would not show on all tests, resulting in infrequent drive errors on numerous tests. We finally convinced Samsung, from experience, that the drives were faulty (argued with Samsung that the Logic Boards were not the issues). Drives replaced, problems solved.


Could be due to a faulty connection on the motherboard (SSD slots). As with your list and these two examples, the list can go on and on. However, before pointing the finger at an OS upgrade, it's only fair and rational to conduct numerous diagnostic tests including non-Apple hardware. For instance, using the SSDs again as an example, SSDs are extremely fragile when compared to HDDs. SSDs just do not have the stability and reliability that their predecessors did.


Bottom line, users need to slow down, invest some time in testing not only Apple software, but non-Apple apps, hardware, etc. or go to an Apple shop to have your system tested if not equipped with adequate, reliable testing apps.

I read through this entire thread as I, too, recently had El Capitan crashing. I thought it was due to the 10.11.6 revision and rolled back but still had the problem. My system is a MBP 2009 mid year edition. My situation was I added a game recently in addition to the revision upgrade so I was not sure if it was the fault of the game, or not.


What I learned from my son's help (he is a net security sw programmer):


1) The game was not the culprit but did help identify the problem.

2) A graphic stress test run showed that the system crashed immediately.

3) This stress test lead us to check the energy settings. My son changed the energy saver mode from "better battery life" to "higher performance". This forced the OSX to use the separate GPU not the GPU that is on the CPU.

4) The stress test ran fine after that.

5) We then tested the game that was crashing and it was fine too.


So, at least for my model laptop with the two GPUs, changing that setting fixed the problem. The OSX should never cause hard crashes/fatal errors like that so it is my belief that OSX has a bug. The GPU on my CPU works fine for all other low performance graphic needs. Those of you who had your logic boards swapped out may not have needed this as a fix, but maybe you had a GPU on a CPU as well. Maybe yours was faulty, who knows.


I hope that OSX developers see these posts so they can understand why most of their computers may not have any El Capitan crashes while others do. We all have to remember that years ago Apple didn't roll out so many Operating Systems and still support past ones as they do today. This is all very complex and makes the job of support staff really hard to figure out each persons individual problem.


In my case the communication at the lowest level between the low level CPU on the GPU and the separate high level CPU was failing and causing fatal crashes. Maybe this information can help others, too.

So solution is: System Pref>Energy Setting> make sure high performance option is ticked, re-login.

I tried a clean install and it had no positive effect. Changed working routine: less Safari, less Office—still BEACHBALL one a day. Hard reset every time.

Finally, somewhere I read a suggestion that Calendar might be at fault. Someone suggested:


Close Calendar.app, go to

~/Library/Preferences/
in your home folder and delete
com.apple.iCal.plist
.


I did that. Now I can't even launch Calendar, but I haven't seen the beach ball since. It's been a week 🙂

OS X EL Capitan crashes and shuts down my computer 2-3 times a day
