iMac 2020 crashes 6-7 times a day Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2020 iMac on FB marketplace (I know, risky move) -- I really needed a 5k display for design work and tested the computer before buying it. Ever since I brought it home, it seems to be crashing 6-7 times a day during normal use. It loads everything up quickly and then will randomly crash while I'm typing out an email etc. I'm pasting the EtreCheck report below -- would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide some context on what might be happening:
