Panic report

Anyone know how to fix a panic report. My Mac mini keeps crashing and restarting about every 5minutes and when I opened A detailed report on it a screen came up with about a billion codes and numbers. This has never happened before. Although I just Recently hooked up a portable hard drive I’m not quite sure if this would have any effect on it. Then there is a code saying ANONYMOUS uuid: 1ad and so on . Anyone have any clue? And if you do please explain in simple terms . Not really a computer genius here lol! Thank you in advance

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Try booting into Safe mode

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564

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)

See if you have a panic report (file's ending in .panic).  If you have more than 1, please post a couple as the differences can be very useful:

Look for the Kernel Panic reports at:

Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder -> /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports 

<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2546>

<http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200553>

The panic report should have ".panic" in the file name.

You can put the panic report in an "Additional Text" box when you Reply

It's almost like getting OUT! :D

I am lucky, I live 600 feet from a paved rail trail, so as long as it is not raining or snowing, I can get out for a 2 mile walk. So far on the chilly days, there are not many people on the trail (except weekends), so social distancing is not a problem. But I have noticed the ducks 🦆 in the pond along the trail are not practicing any social distancing 😬
