[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1641703, member: 307555"] I assume that the Mac restarts at random? And the fans are running and it is not overheating? I know you said you did a hardware test but it still could be that as unfortunately they can be hard to track down if it is random. I suspect memory if it is hardware. I also assume you have your clean install of Yosemite up to date too - 10.10.2 ? Things you can try - an SMC reset and a NVRAM reset. NVRAM: [url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063]How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support[/url] SMC: [url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295]Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support[/url] Can't hurt and it may fix your issues. You have made major system changes and these will clear out any old stuff that could be causing issues. Lisa [/QUOTE]
