Mac's kernel panic at some apps
Since upgrading to Sierra, my mac has kernel panics at some apps like Microsoft Powerpoint, games or when playing a video. I downgraded back to snow leopard, but it still has the panics.
Here is content of one of my panic reports taking from Snow Leopard logs:

Is it a RAM related problem? I swapped the RAMs with a another pair of RAMs, but it did not help. I still have the crash. I have started the extended Apple Hardware Test, but so far it has not found any hardware issues. I'll report back if it comes across a hardware malfunctioning.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
