Hi there,
I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful app to diagnose issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:
- Go to the Mac App Store and search for "EtreCheck."
- Download it. It is a free and trusted app; as it is on the Mac App Store, and only trusted apps can be submitted.
- Run the report, and put it in a post, as seen here - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.
- Open EtreCheck, then go to the name "EtreCheck" in the top left corner > "Preferences" > "Privacy" > turn on "Allow Full Access to Startup Drive."
Also run Apple Diagnostics - Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support Please post the Reference code when done.
Please post results of both!
Cheers,
Jack
