Hi everyone
I have just come acoss this thread and hopefully someone can help me as I'm no IT expert!
I have a macbook po mid 2010 and run OSX 10.9.5. A coupe of years ago the computer began experiencing regular kernel panics. I remember doing some reasearch and the problem appeared to be fix, although I can't remember what I did. However in the the last week or so I have experienced numerous crashes when trying to open up programs or while surfing the net. Below is one of the many reports I have. I would be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how I can fix this. I have noticed that I can do the free updgrade to Sierra but am unsure as to whether or not this would be worthwhile and resolve the issue.
Many thanks
G
