Frequent kernel panics
Hi Apple community! I have a Retina 5K 27-inch iMac 2017 with 64 gigs of memory and a 1TB hard drive that has worked amazingly the entire time I've had it but has now randomly started restarting with random kernel panics. My computer is up to date on the latest OS. I have not come even close to filling up my 1tb hard drive because I use external drives so it's not from an overloaded HD.
There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them in terms of time between restarts and what's happening on the computer during them. I've tried a lot of different things to figure it out. So far I have tried:
• Shutting it off, unplugging, waiting 15 seconds, and plugging back in
• Disconnecting all external hard drives or anything plugged into it and am using an Apple keyboard and mouse
• I've run First Aid on Disk Utility on the hard drive
• I've booting in safe mode
• I've run Apple Diagnostics on it and it said there were no issues
• I've re-installed my RAM to ensure it wasn't that
• I've reset the SMC and PRAM
• I've deleted some old applications in hopes it was that
• I have re-installed OS
Next steps will be taking to Apple but I live far away from any Apple stores and am hoping to figure this out on my own but it's looking less likely that I will. It's now restarting with kernel panics about every 15 to 20 minutes.
