kernel panic after installing el capitan
Hello
Recently I upgraded from 10.6.8 to El Capitan. Quite a big step for my macbook pro 6,2.
I was very pleased to notice that the hardware could afford the new os and that almost all my apps are still running fine.
Although, in the last 4 days I had two spontaneous restarts that the computer decided to do.
I went through some articles addressing the problem. One of them is this:
http://https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200553
I have a very little clue that this might be happening when:
1. I run the chrome app.
2. doing often and fast trackpad gestures to move through windows etc...
So, in the meantime I'm going to use safari instead of chrome and see what will happen.
I checked the console for some more details but my knowledge can't go as far as kernel debugging.
The first spontaneous restart was last Monday and the Diagnostic Report says it is a "Kernel_2016-02-22-130219_[user name]-MacBook-Pro.panic"
After that, i had two more spontaneous restarts but without any kernel panic report in the console.
It seems to me that it could be a graphics related problem.
Today (26/02) i have stopped using chrome and the problem hasn't happened again.
Here I post the first "kernel panic" report in case someone could give me a clue.
Thank you very much in advance!
