A watchdog timer is something that developers set when they expect something to happen within a certain time. If that something doesn't happen, that may indicate a bug (or in the case of hardware, a hardware problem), and the developers may program the the watchdog timeout code to throw an error or intentionally crash the system.

SOCD is System-on-a-Chip Daemon, the process what watch for Hardware issues on the system-on-a chip that included CPU, GPU, Caches, and RAM memory. The watchdog timer is set to catch items that are supposed to be serviced (and the Timer renewed) from time to time. something stopped responding and did not renew the timer, and it expired and crashed the system (which was already paralyzed.


That report suggests you have a SERIOUS Hardware issue.


¿What is the date of your most recent backup, and by what method?


Have you tried running the diagnostic?
