I appreciate it. I will probably do this over the weekend but since I'm running El Capitan and am therefore three OS versions behind now I'm wondering if that's the issue.
Same here but it's not crashing so much as degrading and immediately becoming unusable.
Specs are Mac Pro 3,1 quad core 2.8ghz, 8gh ECC RAM, 4gb GTX 770 running Mac OS 10.11.6
Here's a gif of what happens.
