                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Some process has damaged your security system, is my guess. Assuming you did not damage these drivers, you should find out what process did.

Consider getting the free program Etrecheck, and run it. It lists out all the loading extensions, etc, so you can try to identify bad ones. (It has a database of bad extensions/malware)

You may also need to clean install your OS, depending on what you find out. Do not install any "clean up" utllities, I would also remove all anti-virus applications (If you are running 10.12.6, you are protected for the most part). 

to fix the extensions issue, find your SoftRAID serial number.
Download a new copy of SoftRAID
Run it and "uninstall SoftRAID" from utilities menu
Then after the restart run SoftRAID again.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I keep having total system freezes and have been trying to track down the offender(s).

Referring to the 2 attachments:

"System extension cannot be used...OWC_SATA_Command.kext"

It has the same date as the SoftRAID.kext, along with 3 other OWC kexts.

How do I fix this?

Thanks.]]></content:encoded>
