Macbook Pro randomly crashes and reboots (twice) (error code)

[Walmsley13]

Hello all,

I have a Macbook Pro 15inch from about 2010 (screenshot attached of product info "about this Mac". Only "aftermarket' parts on it is 8GB of ram from G-Skill that I bought about a year into ownership.

Any help on why it crashes would be greatly appreciated as, other than the crashing, it works perfectly fine!

The Error Code is as follows....

Hello and welcome.

Nothing from the log file sticks out as a possible cause of the crashing.

Here is a good place to start: OS X El Capitan: If your Mac restarts and a message appears

If you still have the original RAM, you could try reinstalling it and removing the G-Skill RAM to see if it is a RAM-related issue.

Let us know how that goes,

What sticks out is that your nVidia graphics card is the cause of the crashing. Search Google for "2010 MacBook Pro GPU Panic" to read about the wide-spread issue of the nVidia GeForce GT 330m discrete graphics card issues for 2010 MacBook Pros which, for some, doesn't show up until an operating system upgrade or possibly overheating.

Apple had a repair program that has now ended, but never contacted purchasers to inform them of it. Only those who stumbled across the program because they had the problem show up earlier on were able to take advantage of it. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203554.

Also search "gfxCardStatus" for an app developed by Cody Krieger that allows users to override the dynamic switching feature that automatically chooses which graphics card is used (integrated or discrete) according to the graphics demands of the app. With gfxCardStatus users can set the mode to "Integrated Only" to prevent the computer from switching to the problematic nVidia discrete graphics card. It has been installed on my 2010 15" MacBook Pro 6,2 for more than two years now, and the number of GPU Panics has decreased significantly. Still waiting on the elusive 2016 MacBook Pro to be released.

Best of luck,

T.
