Macbook Pro 15" 2010 kernel panic

Hello community,

my MBP randomly shuts down and restarts, generating a panic report that I'm adding to this message.

The problem started a few weeks ago after many years of smooth working conditions with Sierra: I've updated the system to High Sierra but the issue remains.

There are no extra components connected to the computer (no mouse, no USB devices).

I hope someone would help me sorting this out, thank you!

Learn what to do if your computer restarts or shuts down unexpectedly, or you get a message that your computer restarted or shut down because of a problem.

Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults or faulty third-party kernel extensions.

Machine check with multiple error -reporting banks is a serious Hardware problem.


It strongly resembles an error-correcting memory problem on Macs with that feature, and suggests your processor has cache or Bus deficits internally.


I believe your processor has failed.


Because this particular model (MacBook Pro 6,2 15-in from 2010) had a higher than typical incidence of graphics-related failures later in its life-cycle, you will find there are no used replacement boards available at reasonable prices.


It's time to think about replacing it.
