<< Solved >> High Sierra suddendly crashing reboot

[emerge3d]

I have a system based on the ASUS Maximus VIII Formula MB which has been running fine for over a year.

I was running the machine overnight and noticed this morning networking was not working, I could not see shared network resources in the finder.

I did a reboot and now part way through startup it reboots with a CPU Panic. See attached screenshots.

No software or hardware changes on the machine and Sierra boot drive still works fine.

Anyone got an tips to troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Hi, it seems there is some worldwide issue with Macs right now since Monday night:

Mysterious Data Corruption Issue Knocks Out Mac Pro Workstations Across Hollywood

A mysterious AVID issue has been affecting computers across the industry.

I experienced similar problem today, I noticed Outlook no longer receives emails, Parallels fail to start at all;
after reboot of my hackintosh, it failed to boot at around 60-75% boot strip;

I did High Sierra 10.13.6 reinstall from usb stick (luckily), took roughly 30 minutes;
after successfully booting back into "fixed" OS (all data and software work, nothing got deleted it seems), I noticed "var1" folder in system root, modified today at around 0:56 midnight, which is probably cause of boot corruption (?!), I briefly explored it has something to do with Google and/or Flash...

How's the system been running? Have you connected to the internet?

Rather simple fix in the end, worked a treat. Thanks for sharing!!!
