Apple® devices offer impressive quality and longevity. However, they can also experience technical problems like other devices, some of which can lead to continuous crashing. If you're having this issue, it helps to understand why it occurs and what can be done about it. Here are a few possible causes to consider. 

3 Reasons Why Your Mac® Computer Constantly Crashes

1. Lack of Memory

Any app installed on your Apple device requires memory, which stores data, to run. If the program uses too much of it, crashing is likely to occur. The problem can also arise if the computer simply has insufficient memory storage.

You can address this problem by deleting apps, which frees up space to result in more efficient operation. If your Mac offers an upgradeable RAM option, you can add more memory to deal with larger apps that have substantial space requirements. 

2. Unresponsive Apps

The apps used on a Mac must be compatible with the operating system. If not, they'll likely become frozen and unresponsive. When this issue occurs, it will cause the entire computer to crash, which is highly frustrating if you're in the middle of a project.

It's possible to force-quit an application by pressing Option + Command + Esc, which provides a menu of open programs. However, if the freezing happens repeatedly, you may need to uninstall the software to ensure proper operation. 

3. Hardware Issues

Computer hardware uses a driver to communicate, which serves as a conduit between the device and the operating system. If there's a fault within this component, the hardware can't function properly. As a result, the computer can continuously crash as you attempt to perform tasks. In this case, it's possible to reinstall the driver and correct any hardware issues that your Apple device experiences. The problem can also result from improper hardware installation.
