Entire computer crashes when defocused


Recommended Posts

KSP sometimes causes my mac to suffer an error related force shutdown when I attempt to defocus KSP. This has happen once or more per day. I think it is a memory related issue. My specialty is making missiles, not fixing hardware. (But I am great at breaking hardware) Don't quote me on this

I come here instead of apple because my warranty ran out and I might have to pay money to get it checked. Plus, they would find where my secret base is.

Specs: MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015)

Processor: 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB

I'm not too familiar with Macs but is there an out_put.log? Also is MacOS giving you an error code? 

Looking at your specs, your processor's a bit underpowered for KSP, so that might be the problem?

@Jas0n, I have found no out_put.log, probably because KSP would have no time to make or save the log because it is an unexpected force shutdown. About that error code, I'd need to have it happen again.

I agree, my processor is underpowered, but I do optimization. Total CPU usage never goes above 85%, and memory pressure does not get above 70%.

Edit: There was no error code, and it still happened when KSP was not open! Memory usage was very low, CPU usage was very low, and there was no heating.
