Kernel Panic restarts using Adobe
New iMac running latest Big Sur and Adobe Apps 2021. Would freeze and shut down randomly, frequently. (5 or 6 times in the course of three hours.) Would happen even with just using quicktime player playing a clip off of the desk top with nothing else connected to the computer. Thought it was hardware, so the Apple store gave me a brand new identical 2020 iMac that was loaded with ram. Clean install without using time machine. I then loaded only Office360 and Creative Cloud 2021 Apps. 1 day later - exact same symptoms. Mac Watchdog Kernel Panic shut downs. Lots of them! Happens with or without external drives, eGPU, monitors hooked up. Happens during long encodes or even just playing a video in the finder. I've wiped the drive and am doing another clean install - this time I'll try Adobe 2020 and see if that works. But two new iMacs having the exact same hardware issue is a bit hard to believe. This has to be some Apple vs Adobe conflict.
