iMac 2015 randomly crashes and restarts

I have a 2015 27 "iMac 4 GHz with 32GB of RAM from OWC and necessary devices connected via USB and Thunderbolt running El Capitan (updated) and are experiencing random crashes every day.

Most of the time I'm just browsing through Safari. All of a sudden, the machine crashes, including the mouse pointer and after about 10 seconds the machine will restart and everything is back to normal, as if you start the machine manually. So, no messages saying: it was an unexpected stop, no accident recover/journalist, nothing.

Checking the logs is without kernel panics. The only thing I can find in the system.log is a recurring cause:-128

Encounter the same problem or does anyone know what this error code is talking about?

(Devices: Sonnett Express SE II with Blackmagic Decklink and ATTO HBA H680, mini monitor that connects to a tape drive HP Ultrium 3000 SAS, a TVS - 871T, a Wacom Intuos 5 QNAP NAS and some card readers.)

  • iPad Air keeps crashing and restarting

    Why my iPad Air keep crashing and restarting in Safari? I also think other applications. iOS 9.3.2 must be the culprit because it never happened so often. Any solution?

    Go to settings - Safari - clear the history and data from the Web site.

    If that doesn't work, reset your device. This will not erase your data stored on the phone.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  • Satellite A500 - crashes and restarts when I play games

    Help, please

    For these last months, I had a problem with my laptop crashing and restarting in 10-20 minutes from a game.

    Please help, give me ideas or tell me how to find out what the problem is, I have read a few other discussions to talk about questions of heat but no real answer on how to solve the problem.

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Hi Dale.Johnston,

    Overheating would be a typical pattern of this behavior. I mean, that's if the laptop has a higher internal temperature and it will immediately fit to protect the equipment. Then it the normal behavior of s from overheating.

    Overheating may have different reasons. In most cases it's dust that blocks the fan. This would mean that you have to clean the cooling system of your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    Generally, it should help. If this isn't the case, I would check the display driver. What display driver and operating system you are using?
    If you install the display driver Toshiba not they can also cause overheating if it recommendable s using Toshiba pretested drivers only. ;)

  • My computer crashes and restarts with windows xp but it does not occur with any other OS

    When I use windows XP, 2000, ME, 98 in my computer (Dell latitude D600) it crashes and restarts all of a sudden. But when I installed winodws vista, 7 or ubuntu it will never happen. I thought that the problem could be drivers, so I ran my computer only with windows XP, without installing any driver, but it happens again. I already send my computer to dell and they changed everything in the computer, but I still get the error. What can I do to identify and solve the problem?

    Hello

    You must run the shell in high mode (Administrator).

    Click on start / all programs / accessories.

    Right-click on the command prompt, and then select the run as Administrator option.

    Run SFC/scannow in the command window.

    It is clear the details of the second error problem is the DivXMFSource.dll:

    Fault Module name: DivXMFSource.dll

    Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.72

    Timestamp of Module error: 4cffcf66

    The DivXMFSource.dll is a component of DivX software.

    Uninstall of DivX software should fix the error.

    You are able to do safe mode?

    If not go to the DivX program folder and right-click the DivXMFSource.dll and rename the extension .dll to .old, IE rename DivXMFSource.dll in DivXMFSource.old.

    Restart the computer in Normal Mode and uninstall DivX.

  • iMac crashing and restarting on its own

    Hi all

    My iMac has been crashing lately and restart on its own. After trying to solve what was going on, I noticed that, just before these accidents occur, the following 2 warnings repeatedly appear on the Console:

    kernel [0]: could not open the file 2

    kernel [0]: vm_swap_create_file @ 1554 dry failure

    During the inspection, I realized that the var, there is no /vm folder and, therefore, no swap file, that made me suspect that the problem is related to virtual memory.

    I tried to launch an intensive application of memory while monitoring the use of memory through Activity Monitor and, of course, when all memory is used, the system crashes. Used swap shows 0 bytes at all times. In comparison, my MacBook Air has always a certain amount of used Swap data, even if some memory is used.

    I tried to verify if the virtual memory was somehow disabled, by using 'sudo launchctl load-w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist' but it seems that the service is already loaded.

    I'm at a loss and need help. Someone at - it clues about what is happening?

  • Files voluminous are originally InDesign make Windows 7 Crash and restart

    InDesign performs 7 reception of the data window and crashed when I try to insert images of large file size (Ctrl D)! I have creative cloud... the latest version of InDesign has someone else has experienced this problem.  I get the blue screen of death on Windows 7, then he data dumps and restarts the computer.  I made the window 7 service packs and drivers have been updated. does anyone else have this problem in InDesign?  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    An application cannot bring down the operating system. You have

    something serious.

    A bad driver, or a defective hardware like RAM can cause a blue screen. I ran

    Win 7 upon its release, until what I moved to Win 8. The only blue screen I

    never seen was a catastrophic hard drive crash.
