Trying to revive a mid 2011 iMac, keeps crashing after clean installs
Hi all,
First of all, thank you for reading this post and attempting to help. I am trying to help my father-in-law in resurrecting his mid 2011 27 inch iMac. He has been experiencing a problem where his computer will frequently reboot randomly when he is doing even the most simple of things like browsing the web. I read up a little bit on the issue and can't seem to figure out what is going wrong. I helped him to do a clean install of high sierra the other day and we have thus far only installed chrome and adobe's CC. While we were in the process of installing Illustrator the computer crashed again and gave us this Panic Report. I'm hoping someone can help me decode the problem so I can get him back on his merry way editing his photos.
