Random kernel panics

Several months ago my computer was severely dented in a fall (I fell off my bike and had it in my backpack). Seemed to be fine at the time. Now having kernel panics, no discernible pattern, nothing external connected to the machine.


What would be the wisest thing to do? It is MacBook Air M2. Full Etrecheck report below

re: DCP panic (Display Co-Processer) — [Graphics Processor] panic.


I would consider this a hardware issue.
