I'm replying to you on Safe Mode right now. No errors has happened for the 2 to 3 hours (yet), but the graphics on Discord and Safari breaks and the computer is super laggy. Is this normal in Safe Mode?
Potentially, yes. When running in Safe Mode, third-party kernel extensions are not loaded and a minimal set of Apple drivers are enabled which will affect the overall performance of your Mac, including graphics. The idea of running in this mode is to determine if one of those third party extensions/drivers may be the culprit. It appears that it has.
The next step would be to create a new user account, log out of your current account, and then, log in with the new account. In this case, you do not want to boot up in Safe Mode. Again, run in this configuration for at least an hour to see if the error returns. If it does not, then you know something in your current account is causing the errors.
The final step is to log in with your current account. Then completely remove the Discord app, and then, restart your Mac. Again, let run for a bit to see if the error reoccurs. If it does, then you know it's this app. If not, completely remove Zoom (I realize this may impact your studies, but we need to find out if Zoom is the problem.) Again, restart the Mac, and see if the error reoccurs. If it does, then you know Zoom is the issue. If not, then you can reinstall Zoom (& Discord, if required) and further troubleshooting will be necessary.
