Hi everyone
this is driving me crazy.
2009 MBP 15inch on 10.11.6
lately it keeps on freezing- just stagnant freeze. i have to power it off manually.

i would very much use any help i can get and i am attaching a panic report below maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I downloaded etrecheck and it was fine all up to the point of generating a report and then it just quit unexpectedly.

Panic report 1:

I believe you have an issue with the graphic card. If your Mac has dual GPUs try to run just one of them and see if it helps. If not you may have a logic board that is giving signs of giving up in the near future. Nvidia GPUs (I believe yours is the 9600) are prone to this, sooner or later.

You are due a new computer.

Agree with the post above this one.
