I have a MB Pro that is locking up afer about 30 minutes. When I open console I find this message but cant figure out what is causing the problem.
fault 12:14:37.463057 -0700 kernel IOReturn IOAccelSurface2::surface_unlock_options(enum eLockType, uint32_t): surface is not locked.
We had a user at our company that was having some performance issues on their Mac. So I connected remotely via Timbuktu and took a look at their console. I noticed a constant flood of similar errors:
fault 11:48:36.982151 -0500 kernel IOReturn IOAccelSurface2::surface_unlock_options(enum eLockType, uint32_t): surface is not locked.
So I removed TeamViewer but the errors persisted. After spending about an hour trying to resolve the problem I discovered that the console flood was a "red herring". The flood was being triggered by Timbuktu and my remote connection to the computer. As soon as I disconnected the user told me that the console flood stopped.
I noticed the exact same error popping up if a TeamViewer Session is established. An internet search brings up this discussion.
Propably, its an incompatibility bug for TeamViewer 11 with Sierra.

Uninstall TeamViewer with AppCleaner and reboot. That solved it for me.
