iMac kernel panic restart

I have a 2017 27" iMac OS 10.15.5 that is starting to restart by itself. This happened on my old mac but I fixed that one by uninstalling Norton Anti-Virus. This one does not have Norton on it. Can anyone help??

It could be caused by this:

com.shinywhitebox.iShowU-Audio-Capture 1.0.5


Uninstall it following the developer's instructions or use their uninstaller, then test.


It also could have something to do with an external drive connected via USB. If you had one connected, see if it panics when it is not connected.
