My MacBook Pro "crashes" for no apparent reason but consistently

My MacBook screen is currently broken, so I have a monitor set up to use it still, but for whatever reason my computer will stop sending an output to my monitor, but I hear that my computer is still running everything properly to my knowledge, and the "crashes" happen whenever I move my mouse while certain screens are loading or if I do certain actions in too quick of a succession. I was just wondering if there's a way to fix this or if it's a hardware issue?

Kernel Panic Reports are stored in the Folder at:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


If you copy and paste that string into:

Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder


it will take you to the Folder where those reports are stored.


Kernel panic reports are named with Date&Time and start or end in ‘panic’

If you find one, please post as much as you can here, by using the “additional text” Icon in the reply footer (looks like a paper with writing). (Once the report devolves into incessant software-names or incessant Base-64 dumps with lots of AAAAAA lines, you are done.)


Please don’t post more about 20 lines of any other types of reports — they are interminable, and any information useful for this purpose is on the first screenful.


If you post your kernel panic here in its entirety, using the additional text icon in the reply footer, we do have some Readers (typically with developer background) who can attempt to interpret those panic reports. Even if no clear symptom emerges, this can still save a step if you DO need to contact Apple support later, because Apple Support specialists can read the panic reports you posted here, if you tell them what discussion or what Avatar.
