2010 Macbook Pro Random Restarts

[Shed209]

I recently got hold of a second hand 2010 Macbook Pro 15 (i7 2.66Ghz model), however the machine is occasionally randomly restarting - particularly when I open Siri. I took a photo of the error report last time:

If that link isn't working, also here: https://ibb.co/bNdFNp

Is this the infamous 2010 GPU issue, and if so, should I send the machine back? Or could it be something else? Odd that Siri is causing this problem.

With regards to the problem you're having, it's graphics related, almost certainly hardware. IIRC the Nvidias on those models were a little dodgy (well any MBPs with dGPUs have a higher failure rate).
