System: iMac - (27-inch, Late 2012)
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
Operating System: Mac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
Software Application: Paragon NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve been experiencing a somewhat regular series of system crash events for the past few months. It’s taken awhile to track down the cause of these crashes but I finally found what appears to be the culprit - Paragon’s NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359. I’ve conducted several tests using two different brand 1TB external hard drives connected to two different side-by-side USB ports (which, by the way caused no problems whatsoever until my recent upgrade to Paragon NTFS For Mac Version 14.2.359. One factor that I can verify without a doubt - as soon as NTFS For Mac is disabled through System Preferences, the system crashes stop. At this point I have the external hard drives connected to the USB ports with NTFS For Mac disabled and have not experienced any system crashes. Below is a copy of my latest system crash report.

It should be noted that when one or both external hard drives were connected to a USB port with NTFS For Mac enabled, system crashes occurred at intervals of 15 minutes to half an hour after each recovery from a previous crash. As you can see this made my entire system unusable.

I look forward to hearing from you once you've had an opportunity to review my current information and decide what is the best way to resolve this issue.

Unfortunately, due to a strict number of characters limited per post (here on your forum) my crash report has been significantly truncated.
