I have a 2010 Mc book pro that has been randomly crashing - started crashing at boot time and now happening anytime. Discovered the SSD was failing and finally became corrupt and then unreadable (failed).
Replaced the SSD (840 EVo) it with a new 960mEvo and initially used a Sierra time machine back up all directories checked & optimised with Disk Warrior and also ran virus checker with no issues.
No apparent causes for the crash which can occur anytime - even without apps running.
I tried doing a clean install of Sierra but it failed “ unable to install on this computer”.
Fixed the MacBook time issue which can cause install issues using terminal and again tried a clean install of Sierra with the same result.
Suggestions welcome!
