problem after restart

[MacInWin]

Post #15 has paths to some. You can use EasyFind or Find Any File to find the valvesoftware one. You may have to boot in Safe mode to delete them from where you find them, then reboot normally.

I don’t think SIP should be off unless this is a T2 chip model requiring external boot access.

The other thing I’d like to ask is what do you do with the notice option when you receive it? Do you send the error report to Apple or just ignore it?

To be honest there is no option to report the error it just says that.

Thanks guys I’ll try the steps you mention

Here's an older solution that may help your problem:

At least you are not alone with the problem...

Hope you find one of the fixes there works for you and stops the annoying message.

hi patrick

your suggestion worked wonders so far.

I have several sleep failure logs in there also.

Thanks for your feedback Jason, and it's nice to know that an old fix still works works when the OS screws up. I guess it's just a matter of knowing where to look and what to do.

What is even stranger is my El Capitan 2011 iMac suddenly started producing the same notification shortly after I had posted the suggested solution.

There were three log files existing at the suggested path, two with the same date but different times and the notification disappeared after trashing them and restarting.

I had had no problems restarting or whatever. Strange, but at least the fixed worked again.

I'm late coming into this thread, but it seems obvious to me that your Mac is experiencing a kernel panic when you sleep or shutdown. You *might* find a good clue as to what the culprit is by reading your panic log.

However, I see that you have the TechTool Pro kext installed. That's been known to cause kernel panics. The first thing that I would do is use TTP's uninstaller to completely remove all TTP components, and see if that fixes things.

hi Randy Thanks for the reply

believe it or not ive always had the tech tool pro installed and had no issues before.

in fact I have no issues now either since deleting the log.

how do I read a panic log ?

You can find your Panic log file in your system directory at:

[Your Hard Drive}/Library/Logs/Panic.log.

Use the Console program, found in your Utilities folder (inside your Applications folder), to open any log file and see what it says.

Maybe the question should have been - how do you translate what the Panic log says into something actually logical or meaningful or understandable to someone who isn't a computer Guru genius...???

Sometimes you can't. But since it is a free, quick, and easy thing to do it's worth taking a look when you are experiencing kernel panics and you are trying to tack them down.

You should be looking at entries that were generated recently in time, or if your kernel panic just occurred, the most recent entry. See if the entry refers to a specific application or utility. If it does, try uninstalling it, restarting, and seeing if things are better.

There are a limited number of things that tend to cause kernel panics, and they are mostly all known. Usually kernel panics are hardware related, or, more rarely, they are related to software that installs deep within, or modifies the OS itself. I, personally, would almost always look for or test these known things first.
