This is what happens when I fresh installed. it keeps saying “your computer restarted because of an issue” at about 3/4 of the way and then reboots itself. El Cap 10.11.6

SMC wouldn't give you Kernel Panics, the OS panics so you have a messed up OS and/or drive so the OS is unable to boot up cleanly.

Do you still have the original grey disks that came with the system? If you do you should have one marked with diagnostics try booting up under it.

As you can see here you have double loading going on!

You have Mach v17.7 loading on top of Mach v17.5

Your OS is messed up! This has nothing to do with SMC.

Actually it’s a power issue. Random shut downs. OG CD gives kernel panics. I can show you the verbose

@turtlover - Your drive is corrupted! You need to wipe it down and install a fresh copy of your OS.

@danj I’ve made 5 USBs. They’re not corrupted because they load up on my other Macs fine

@turtlover - That doesn't tell me anything. I have 7 USB thumb drives each with a different version of OS-X and macOS. The highest version of OS your system supports is OS-X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Did you find the original Grey CD's that came with your system?

I don’t have the CD but I had the ISO I restored to a USB and I get a kernel panic on it
