2018 MACBook Air crashing and restarting regularly
This computer, my wife's, has the up-to-dated Sonoma 14 OS, but recently started to crash and automatically restart. It generates a report, that I will post below. I wonder if anyone - perhaps our old friend HW Tech - can help us discover the problem and fix it? Thank you!
