Q: Constant kernel panics
I have a late 2014 Mac Mini with fusion drive that has become completely unreliable in the past week. Have experienced approximately 12 kernel panics in past 7 days. What I have tried so far: 1) removed external hard drive 2) uninstalled Avast antivirus (this was installed last year, and didn't appear to have any connection to the kernel panics, but i uninstalled anyway 3) verified hard drive - no errors 4) fixed permissions 5) booted and worked in safe mode for a time - eventually whole system locked up requiring reboot 6) created a new user and logged in under that account - still had panic
All panics so far have been while surfing the web in Safari...
I had not loaded any new software on computer in at least 6 or so days before the first panic. No other programs (other than Safari) are running when the panics occur.
Here is the latest Panic log (they have all looked basically exactly the same, i.e. type 14=page fault)

I just thought I would follow up on my original post just in case it is helpful to someone out there with a similar problem. I figured out the cause of my kernel panics. After starting over on my mini with a completely fresh install of OS X, not even bringing anything in from iCloud, I ran the computer for a while and thought all was good. I decided to install the Flash plugin for Safari, and within an hour I had another kernel panic. I don't have ANY other third party programs or plugins installed on the computer. It could have just been coincidence, but I decided to restart from scratch again, and this time I have not installed Flash.
10 days later - not a single problem of any kind - other than not being able to view Flash content in Safari. I haven't tried any other browsers, but I figure I can live without Flash if it keeps my computer from crashing daily...
