MacBook Air early 2015 kernel panic Suspected bundle: com.apple.driver.AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer

The kernel panics started with Catalina last week. I have read many discussions and have followed many of the suggestions including resetting NVRAM, safe boots, doing hardware check and reinstalling the OS using recovery, turning off Power Nap, I have run Disk Utility Repair Disk which does not find anything. I've also removed login items for my user in system preferences. I went through troubleshooting and ultimately felt that upgrading to Monterey might fix things. It did not. Same kernel panic after the upgrade.I get notified that my Mac was restarted when waking my MacBook Air from sleep.


The kernel panics do not seem to occur if I shut down the computer and restart.

The kernel panics do not occur after a Safe Boot.


I have included the log from the most recent kernel panic and to my untrained eye it is nearly the same as the kernel panic that I got under Catalina.


Is there anything else I can provide that might help pin this down? Or suggestions on what else to check?

A few more things, I do not have any accessories/peripherals attached to my laptop.

I have also observed that my startup time has increased significantly. My laptop with SSD would normally startup in the area of about 25 seconds or so. Now I notice that the progress bar during startup goes about 1/3 of the way in 15 seconds, then progresses very very slowly for about 40 seconds then I notice a blink of the screen and it finishes loading in about 10 seconds then quickly finishes with a total startup time now of about 1 min 15 seconds .


In the good old PowerPC days I could watch extensions loading and by a process of elimination remove certain extensions to see what was causing issues with startup. I have no idea if that is possible in the new world.
