Mac locking up for no reason

First, before anyone weighs in: yes, I've already reset SMC & NVRAM.


My Mac mini running Mojave (10.14.3). I just had my first lockup on this machine, though the same exact thing was happening on another Mac mini running Mojave, so I'm convinced it's the OS.


The symptom: the mouse starts beachballing, and everything locks up (clock stops, too), and nothing works except the mouse which I can still move around. I have no other option than to hard power down the machine.


Thankfully I took note of the exact second this happened (01:01:05), and when I booted back up, I looked at the system.log file in Console:

One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

I don't know if there's anything useful there. Anyone know how else I can troubleshoot this?

Mac mini, 10.14
