iMac stuck in reboot loop
I get the error screen "Your computer restarted because of a problem." and my iMac will not start up.
I have 2 internal SSD's, a 128G NVME (the drive that will not startup) and a 2TB SSD. They both have Ventura on them, so I've been able to view the crash report from the NVME. It says coreaudiod in the filename but I don't know how to read it or what to do about it.
The crash report filename is "coreaudiod-2025-07-28-092207.ips"
I started the computer this morning just fine and the crash log time is just after that (9:21 am). I didn't touch it until this afternoon at which point I installed a few audio plugins and deleted another. After restarting I cannot get past this screen. I have had this problem once already a week ago, wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Ventura only to have this now happen again. Please help, error log attached below.

iMac 5k 27 inch 2019

Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB
