Hello Since a month my MacBook shuts down randomly. It doesn’t matter if it’s on battery power or on mains. Sometimes I get the screen saying it shut down because of a problem, but often it just stops working, but the keyboard is still lit up and when pressing a button it does make a noise. I have checked the battery with CoconutBattery, I’ve done a SMC reset, PRAM reset, checked the harddrive. All fine. This gives me the impression I have a faulty Logic Board, but before I go out and swap that, I want to check if that’s really the problem. I’m just guessing it’s a broken GPU. I’ve added two error messages I’ve got. Thanks in advance!

Looking at your crash report it looks like a memory address error. Let’s give this a try… Setup a bootable external drive with nothing but your OS and basic apps you would use. No antivirus or other kernel level apps. Alter your boot up drive setting to the external via the System Preference Startup Disk. See if the system fails running the clean OS if its stable. If it still fails then your logic board has an issue if not you’ll need to rebuild your systems drive after backing it up and then reformatting the drive with a fresh OS install and all of the OS updates first. Only install apps from the Apps Store run the system this way for a while then slowly install from fresh copies of the other apps one at a time (giving each one a good week to run before moving forward) if your system fails during anytime during this the given app is suspect!
