Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys). Then restart Safari holding the Shift key.


Turn off Safari extensions in Safari > Preferences > Extensions > un-checkmark all extensions.


Empty Caches. You can either choose Safari menu > Clear History Or, if you do not want to remove History go to Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced and check the “Show Develop Menu” in Menubar. Then, on that menu > “Empty Caches”.


See these Apple Support Topics for detailed advice:

If Safari is slow, stops responding, quits unexpectedly, or has other issues - Apple Support

If Safari doesn't load a page or webpage items are missing - Apple Support

Uninstall Clean My Mac as per the developers instructions. No Anti-Virus software or so-called “cleaning” apps are needed or recommended for Mac OS. They can conflict with Mac's own built-in security. At best they will slow your Mac by using unnecessary resources and at worst will bork your entire system. And Clean My Mac is one of the worst.


I don't know if it's causing the problem, but it certainly isn't helping. After that, run another Etrecheck report.

Apr 22, 2018 12:38 PM in response to Anthony William Murray

Uninstall CleanMyMac, it's considered malware by many experienced users on these forums. Then restart in Safe Mode and then restart normally and re-test.


If the issue continues, your EtreCheck report does say:


Major Issues:

Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.


Hardware failure- Your machine shut down due to a hardware failure.


If the problem persists, take the computer to your local independent Apple Authorized Service Provider and have the computer professionally diagnosed and repaired.
