You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison. A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.


Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


ends in .panic post the whole report if it meets that.

I was able to fix the issue in an unusual way. I am running two external monitors which seems to be part of the issue. I disconnected them both. Used the computer for a day without any external monitors. Then I connected one to see if the issue would occur again. The computer went through a few resets over a few days with the single monitor. I then added the second monitor and haven't had any issues since.
