System crashes with "a freed zone element has been modified in zone kalloc.160"

I've had this Retina 5k iMac since it launched in 2014, and have since installed 32GB of Crucial RAM, specced to this exact machine. It has the Core i7 4790K CPU option, and the Radeon R9 M295X 4GB option, as well as a 1TB SSD.


I've already submitted a bug report, rdar:40505968.


Here is the panic log:

That indicates a memory problem. It could be your RAM, but you must first eliminate the third-party kernel extensions as the cause. Uninstall all of these and test:

Incidentally, this means I can't run Steam on my machine right now, or run Keybase, two things I usually have running in the background. I guess I can run Parsec and use the Steam on my Windows machine to play games over the network while I wait for the impending KP or not-KP result.


I also find it hard to believe it would be my memory, as I just bought this Crucial memory from Amazon less than a year ago.

Well, we haven't yet ruled out the kexts.

Incidentally, this means I can't run Steam on my machine right now, or run Keybase, two things I usually have running in the background.

Well, you can't until you determine that those aren't the problem kexts.

If you don't get any more panics, then you can try installing the things you find necessary one-at-a-time until you find the one that causes the panics. Then, check for an update from the developer.

Did you see my latest reply above? I didn't get a KP, but I did get a thermal overheat forced sleep mode, in which it also left the fan turned on. I'm now using Macs Fan Control to force the fan to run full speed, and the GPU is idling between 82˚C and 89˚C.

Yes, I did, but I have no idea how it correlates. Macs are designed to do that when they are driven to the point of overheating.

There could be some hardware problem that ties these two events together, but you would have to verify that by taking to an Apple Store or certified repair center.
