Q: kernel panic report: kernel_task
To whomever may be reading - please advice!
I have had a few Kernel panics last week:
- kernel panic started while using photoshop lighroom cc
- computer restarted, panic occurred 20 min later
- computer restarted, didn't use any design or photo programs, panic occurred 10 min later
- logged in a separate temporary i have which has no files - worked fine just checking emails, watching movies
- re-started on safe mode and saved all my valuable info to my external hard drive
- checked hardware through the computer's test = all fine
- re-installed the OS form scratch and re-installed programs. Have stayed on El capitan and have not upgraded to Sierra yet.
- panic occurred once when i tried to use a cc design program. Used the CS6 version and it was fine.
- panic occurred when i tried to open my lighroom library. Installed LIghroom Cs5 (older version) and started a brand new library - worked fine
- regular program use is fine: email, web surfing, movie watching
- last night worked on lightroom for a good 45 min-1 hr, then switched to photoshop cs6 for 20 min - computer had another kernel panic
- just today i worked on illustrator cs6 for 30 min and the computer had another kernel panic.
***looking back at the reports, most of them are associated with kernel_task

I looked up the latest report and it wouldn't let me post because of 'invalid characters' (not sure which ones)
