"GPU Panic" would point to it for me...so I've voted for "loose hardware" - but if a reseat doesn't help then it may be new Mac time...

 

[Intell]

It appears to be caused by the GPU. That model is known for having faulty GPUs. To repair it, it would cost more than the value of the Macbook itself.

 

[CoastalOR]

I think it is a sign of a dGPU failure (internet search for "Radeongate"). I had the same thing happen to my 2011 15" MBP. I voted for get a new Mac.

 

[06tb06]

I agree with the above posts. "...it may be new Mac time..."

 

[Intell]

You can give this a try, it may be able to give you some more use out of your Macbook, but with some restrictions: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ntel-integrated-gpu-efi-variable-fix.2037591/

 

[b0fh666]

oddly, that's the same error I have on my 2012 when running the nvidia web driver on sierra - happens when closing random apps, mostly office ones. your 2011 should have an ATI dGPU tough.

 

[JayKay514]

This iFixit thread may be related to your issue. If it only happens when your laptop moves, it is definitely related to hardware, quite possibly a loose connection, frayed display ribbon cable, or something else. In the case of the linked iFixit thread, it was the laptop's wifi card that was causing issues, due to a lack of insulating tape shorting pins on a connector.

Worst case scenario: Motherboard needs to be replaced.
Middle case scenario: Ribbon cable, daughtercard, or other modular component may need to be replaced.
Best case scenario: Something's just loose that can be re-seated, taped, or otherwise managed inexpensively.

Either way, I would recommend taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Center for an estimate. If it costs too much for your budget, at least you'll only be out the diagnostic fees.

Definitely the GPU since the crash is in the GPU switcher (AppleMuxControl). After 7 years, its probably time to get something new

FYI: The early & late 17" 2011 MBP A1297s had a AMD Radeon dGPU not ATI.

 

[Samuelsan2001]

It's the radeongate GPU failure, you have missed the free fix apple offered and it will cost more to fix than its worth and the fix is almost guaranteed to fail again. Time for a new computer.

 

[maflynn]

Time for a new computer.

The computer is 7 years old at this point, I'd say its time for a new one anyways.

 

[Samuelsan2001]

The computer is 7 years old at this point, I'd say its time for a new one anyways.

Me too however when there are threads on the forum about fixing 2007 MBP's for daily use you have to wonder....

 

[Fishrrman]

Research "RadeonGate".

As others have said above, it's "new Mac time"...
