The crash log that relevant is one made by CaptureLogs which is a Resolve app.. run it after the crash and prior to restarting Resolve…. my guess is, the early 2011 17″ MBP is a AMD Radeon GPU. Just 1 GB ram.. so HD only.. but it also has a Intel HD graphics chip.. so it maybe that you have not disabled the Intel GPU and so its crashing on launch due to that.. just an idea and as you say, this is not a recommended platform for v11.
