Chosen Solution

This 2012 13”retina 2.5 unit randomly shuts off at very infrequent intervals. So far I removed the dust out of the fins, replaced the thermal paste, ran the SSD first aid utilities, removed ‘,mac cleaner” and and ran “heaven” to stress the GPU. It promptly panicked the first time,= I ran Heaven, then I did the thermal repairs, and then it nearly completed Heaven, but did shut down in again the last few seconds.I tried to run ASD, but crashed in teh last few minutes before it finished. Finally the panic report points to: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff800df960ae) : process 1 exec of /sbin/launched failed, errrno 6”@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-3248.73.11/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:4884 Any pointers on how to deceiver this would be much appreciated.

Not sure why you are using Heaven its old and your system doesn’t offer a dedicated GPU like the 15” models. Sadly, your CPU (with intergraded graphics engine) is failing when accessing the RAM. The cpu 2 caller 0xffffff800df960ae is the memory offset which returned a bad variable.
