Why does Mac OS keep shutting down?
Mac keeps shutting down with message that there is a problem and then restarts. I am running OS 10.10.5.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.
Click on the top line we want, Shift plus click on the bottom line we want, CMD+c to copy, then paste the text in a reply with CMD+v
A couple dozen lines should be about right, hundreds or thousands won't likely be readable. 🙂
Thank you for your reply. This is what I found but I am not sure how I would use this information to help with the problem.

Does it only crash when Adobe stuff is running?
Might look at that Crash Report in Console...

Yes. Still not used to running my Adobe Apps off of the Cloud. I see now where that could be the problem. Thanks!
So, it is Adobe crashing it?
