[QUOTE="MarkAllread, post: 1870545, member: 399743"] I have not seen that before. Bear in mind that free Etrecheck just takes readings while it is running and if you ran it again it would likely be ok. Also from what I understand a high cpu use can be quite common if there’s a lot of stuff going on in the background. If you are interested in finding more about that, you can run Activity Monitor. (Aplications-Utilities folder.) But be aware that it can raise more questions than it answers if you don’t know what you are looking at. I was not aware of the “issue” that chscag pointed out about ECC RAM. But if it finds a problem that usually means there is one rather than not finding one. Still I think you might want to run it (or some other RAM check) that stresses your RAM a bit, perhaps chscag can suggest something. Run several passes and if your reset happens when the machine has been warmed up a bit, then do the RAM check in the same condition. My Mac Pro is the cheese Grater model and I’m not familiar with the trash can, nevertheless here are other things I would be inclined to do. -Start up in safe mode, this does some small maintenance jobs -Disconnect all peripherals such as other drives. -Pull the RAM and leave one stick. Run the computer hard for a couple of days. If it still resets, change it for another. -If it was my Mac, I’d pull my video card and re-seat it and also the video card power cables and any other pci cards I have. Sometimes I find the best way to find an intermittent problem is to find a way to reproduce it or make the problem permanent..at least it is easier to find what to replace ;-) One last thing…did you run Apple Diagnostics or just Disk Utility??? I think your machine qualifies to run it… [URL]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731[/URL] [/QUOTE]
