Q: Frequent kernel panics?

Hi there.

I have had kernel panics frequently over the past several months. My computer will spontaneously "rage quit" and restart to the error page. This occurs at unpredictable times and I have tried some options, including removing an AV software, starting in safe mode, deleting startup items, changing the battery.

My machine is approx 6 years old, so I expect it to have some health problems, but i have been running to more frequent panic attacks, about 3-4 a day. I do not know what to do, here is the crash report, any help is greatly appreciated!!!
