macOS panic (com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily)

Just to be sure. You posted in the OS X Yosemite area of the ASC, yet your report identifies that your Mac is running macOS 10.12.4 Sierra (Build 16E195). Which is correct?

Do you still get the kernel panics when your MBP is NOT connected to an external monitor?

Regardless an com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily was the item that appears to triggered the kernel panic.

See if any of the following articles can help:

• What does this kernel panic tell you? Bad CPU? - ASC
• Kernel panic: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily - Ask Different

Anti-virus is NOT recommended.

Please read "How does Mac OS X protect me?"

<http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg-builtin/>

And Please read

<Effective defenses against malware and other threats>

Kernel extensions, especially from anti-virus packages, is a very common cause of kernel panics.

But since this panic is in the graphic driver, the thunderbolt adapter to the external display is something that needs to be considered as a possible candidate.

Is the monitor thunderbolt capable? That is to say it takes Thunderbolt in, and offers to daisy chain to additional Thunderbolt devices?

Or is it DisplayPort?

Can the monitor be driven via HDMI? Can you try an HDMI adapter?

Then perhaps you want to report this to Apple

I have yet to see the panic when I'm not connected to the external monitor (which only represents <5% of the time).

...

I'm using the DP port. It can also take in HDMI and miniDP.

I would try a different adapter. It could be the Thunderbolt adapter. A different adapter might give you a different result. It might be best if the adapter was not manufactured by the save vendor, in this experiment.

It is indeed Sierra and so I posted to the wrong area it seems.

I'll ask the hosts to move the thread to the Sierra forum

I am having the same problem with a Macbook Pro (only a month old) running Sierra. It was working perfectly fine until I purchased an LG external monitor from Apple and plugged it in. I immediately got a kernel panic which seemed to resolve itself after a reboot and the external display seemed fine but now, even when the external display not even connected, I randomly get this kernel panic. See below --- any help would be much appreciated.

As suggested for the original OP, check your adapters. Are they Apple adapters? Are you using HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, other?

Can you try a different adapter, can you try a different interface (HDMI vs DisplayPort vs DVI vs whatever)

There are no adapters! The LG Display, specifically for Macbook Pro was plugged in directly (just a cable - thunderbolt 3/USB-c on both ends) but as I noted, I'm getting the kernel panic when that display is NOT connected so there's nothing plugged into the Macbook Pro, not even power!

Yeah, been there, done that --- a fix will show up in a year!

This only happened AFTER I used an LG Monitor for the first time. I have to believe that some KEXT got installed/used that is causing this problem and that I should be able to revert back or stop it being used or something. Was hoping that someone else had already seen this issue

Uninstall Symantec. It tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit.
