Constant restarts after macOS High Sierra upgrade

Hi, after upgrading to High Sierra my MacBookPro has been restarting several times a day.


I tried several things, even installing a fresh High Sierra. If I use a user account without iCloud and other services I get way less restarts. Last weekend I attended an workshop and used a new user account and I had only one crash in 3 days and it might have been caused by the software I was using (Touch Designer) that taxes the system to it's limits. During that time I was on wifi, normally I'm on ethernet (thunderbolt adaptor).


Could this be related to iCloud? Even on a fresh OS?


Any ideas? This machine was working flawlessly (with El Capitan) before installing High Sierra!


Thanks!

Run Apple Diagnostics and see what it reports.

How to use Apple Diagnostics on your Mac - Apple Support

You are running U-Torrent. Torrents are a great way to get malware, it hides in the downloads and you'd never know it's there. Suggest you run Malwarebytes and see what it reports.Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.

Additionally you are running several third party apps I'm not familiar with. Any one of them may cause problems.

All that said, it may be none of these that's causing the issue. There are many reports just like yours after upgrading to HS.

You can try "Safe Mode" but you would need to use it in that mode long enough to decide whether the unexpected shutdowns continue or subside, which is not likely to be convenient: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support.

When not associated with a predictable event (a firmware update, for example) that code is usually associated with a hardware fault. Correlating that code with all of the spontaneous restart events would confirm that suspicion. Contact Support to have it evaluated.
