Q: Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13" frequent freezes and automatic restart
I have been having a problem with my Macbook pro mid 2012 (13") of over a year-and-a-half now. When the problem started, it was not that frequent. Now the freezes and auto-restarts (after a few seconds) have become so frequent that I cannot use the macbook to do anything serious at all. Over the past 18 months or so, I have tried switching from chrome, to safari, to firefox, but the problem is always there. I have done clean installs of mountain lion, Mavericks, and now El Capitan, but nothing seems to work at all. Currently, I haven't even got any software other than web browsers installed (Chrome, firefox). I do not use any peripheral devices. Sometimes, I turn it on, and leave it alone, and it restarts by itself.
I just would like to find out exactly where the problem is. After trying three different OSs, I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. If I had something concrete, I would decide whether to give up or go on and replace some malfunctioning parts. Anyway, I'm posting here the log from the last restart and EtreCheck results with hopes that you guys can help me get to the bottom of this.
Cheers,
Michael.
