I have had several kernel panics, typically 1 or more per day. Can someone help me to read these errors to determine what it causing these?

Hi there,


I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful app to diagnose issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:


  1. Go to the Mac App Store and search for "EtreCheck."
  2. Download it. It is a free and trusted app; as it is on the Mac App Store, and only trusted apps can be submitted.
  3. Run the report, and put it in a post, as seen here - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211 We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.
  4. If it asks for Full Disk Access, follow the prompts to enable it.


Also run Apple Diagnostics -  Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support Please post the Reference code when done.


Please post results of both!


Cheers,


Jack

Your Mac is in pretty good shape.


I would recommend doing the following:


Try these first, see if they solve the issue:


If the issue comes back after all of the above,


If it still comes back after all these steps, let me know.
