iMac 27" 2019 randomly shuts down

My iMac 27" 2019 (Big Sur 11.7.6) is randomly shutting down and restarting. I do not have it set up to automatically update software. I have auto back up to Carbonite, and I just backed up additionally to Dropbox, so I don't think I'll lose any data if it crashes. I just can figure out why it keeps shutting down. Any advice or thoughts on this issue???

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…


Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
