Hi there!
I recently started getting repeating kernel panics! The only new thing is that I've moved and am using a new internet/wifi/etc. There are no perifs when it happens, its at random, also sometimes software hangs and internet goes very slowly, repaired disk utility in safe boot, etc.
Here is the latest report. Thank you!
Should I keep checking that folder? I find it odd it didnt output anything from this mornings crash and the only kernel type log in console is in the system reports (nothing in library/logs) - also that I went over 24
(this being this mornings)
I find it interesting that you have to totally different kernel backtrace signatures.
That makes me think there is something else wrong, maybe hardware.
It is a 2016 Macbook Pro and I have not heard of any GPU issues with this model
Then again, a 3rd party kernel extension can do anything it likes in the kernel, and it would be good to try uninstalling Telestream.
Or if you can run in Safe mode for awhile that might indicate if it is Telestream or something else

This will not load any 3rd party additions, it will load some more conservative Apple drivers (may cause screen flicker), and it will clear some kernel caches (a cache is saved data in a form that can speed up a program, but is totally redundant to the original source, and thus can be safely cleared). Booting into Safe mode is just an experiment, but can frequently eliminate any 3rd party interference, or a cached item out-of-sync with the world. (Verify Safe mode via Applications -> Utilities -> System Information -> Software -> Boot Mode -> Safe vs Normal)
I uninstalled Slack and Discord which I checked the electron using applications and that seemed to be the only two that use it, and immediately crashed (used app cleaner and FaF to brush it clean). I'm starting to feel like everything is falling to pieces..
You could try Rember.

.
Quit as many apps and background tasks as you can (such as menu bar items) so more RAM is available for testing. Booting into Safe mode <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564> can also free up more RAM for testing, by not loading any 3rd party additions you may have installed.

Heres the output of that - I havent blown them out that recenty, I moved to Australia and it's not as easy to find compressed air here haha. But I will. - Also no, I've never changed the fan speed on this comp (MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016 unibody)
Thank you! So heres what we got; Gameshow looks familiar, a streaming software I installed ages ago and uninstalled, and I always use something like AppCleaner to uninstall. Regardless. Is it safe to trash these files? (if so, how?) The actual software no longer exists on my computer anymore and hasnt in.. a very long time.
Initially it looks like possibly a GPU problem, Have you blown the dust out of the intakes lately?
What temperatures does this App report?
This App can be used to speed up the fans, all my iMacs would be dead without it.
Never ever ever drop fan speeds below the speed that the Mac itself is calling for.

Find Any File...

Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Search for telestream or is it screenflow
Should be able to right click on them in FaF & choose Move to Trash.
There should not be any problem deleting them. They aren't part of the OS.
Depending on where the kext are stored, you may have to disable SIP to do so.
If a "ages ago" predates SIP, they could have installed the kext in /System/Library/Extensions. If so, that folder is protected by SIP, now. I don't know if you can just delete items out of it.
If Telestream knew what they were doing, it would have installed in /Library/Extensions which you can easily delete from.
But, if they knew what they were doing, you wouldn't have gotten a panic from their software (if that was the cause).
It seems to be protected, I'm unable to drag them to the trash ("can not be modified or deleted" etc) - ages ago, probably 2 years, others 5 (migration)
Some are stored in sibrary ▸ SystemMigration ▸ History ▸ Migration-CB223D25-EE67-4AA9-AFA8-8252CB551368 ▸ QuarantineRoot ▸ Library ▸ StagedExtensions ▸ Library ▸ Extensions
Others Library ▸ StagedExtensions ▸ Library ▸ Extensions
Library ▸ Extensions ▸ TelestreamAudio.kext ▸ Contents ▸ MacOS
and such.
After trying a few times it allowed me to move all items to the trash except
Death Star ▸ Library ▸ SystemMigration ▸ History ▸ Migration-CB223D25-EE67-4AA9-AFA8-8252CB551368 ▸ QuarantineRoot ▸ Library ▸ StagedExtensions ▸ Library ▸ Extensions > TelestreamAudio.ktext
and
Death Star ▸ Library ▸ SystemMigration ▸ History ▸ Migration-CB223D25-EE67-4AA9-AFA8-8252CB551368 ▸ QuarantineRoot ▸ Library ▸ StagedExtensions ▸ Library ▸ Extensions ▸ TelestreamAudio.kext ▸ Contents ▸ MacOS TelestreamAudio
(i'm not sure if time machine migration from an older computer to this one has anything to do with the backtrace signatures being different, and perhaps two seperate installation and uninstallations - honestly i cant remember, i had tried to stream on this machine and perhaps a few times but my internet was always crud - as is my memory)
Any new thoughts here?
Maybe we should wait & see if there are any today or later, this one the important liners...

Is something like a clean install going to be my next step do you think? I need to buy a new HDD, but obviously in order to have a working computer it must be done (id have to get a usb and thunderbolt adapt it because i'm not made of money and painstakingly reinstall everything) but is that how its starting to look?
oh gosh thats absolutely worst case scenario being i'm out of applecare :| backuped though yes. whats leading you to believe this, and where are you thinking the culprit lies so i can kick it into submission?
Well, don't put too much faith in my guess, but It seems like possibly a RAM issue on the thin evidence that getting rid of the thing that was involved in the last KP made room for something else to load in the RAM space previously used by that other thing, & now it is crashing.
Very tough to test RAM, it seems OSX itself is a better RAM tester than any RAM tester, I wouldn't bother with Apple's test, I'd try MemTest86...
