2017 MacBook Pro Retina crashing randomly
So my macbook started chrashing randomly in the last 3 days.
Day 1 it crashed once. Day 2 it did not crash. Day 3 it crashed twice in an hour.
Any help?

There it is....
You need to upgrade your Steam.
VirtualBox is a real memory hog too. Don't run it simultaneously to games that don't use it.
VPN is only needed if you are trying to block other people from seeing you, or are on a corporate network.
Macfancontrol is more placebo than helpful. You shouldn't be trying to optimize your fan speeds or trying to affect the heating of your machine through software. Overriding the Mac OS defaults is sure to cause panics.

Thank you!
What about the other one where Kernel_Task made the crash?
2022-01-30 22:05:25 Kernel Panic
Details:
panic(cpu 4 caller 0xffffff8005be5b53): Kernel trap at 0xffffff8006028
120, type 14=page fault, registers:
Panicked task 0xffffff854170c6a0: 256 threads: pid 0: kernel_task
That can be just about anything.
Point is, it has overwhelmed the poor machine. Simplify. Cut out any memory resident program you don't need for the moment. If you have enough space, and want to optimize game performance, keep a separate partition with just the operating system and that game. Sadly, these machines don't have user replaceable memory anymore. So the next best option is memory management to isolate what is not working well with what else.
Run Etrecheck,
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250002463
that's a lot easier to comprehend the reason behind the crashes.
Here is the Etrecheck report!
My OS was updated btw.
Alright.
Thank you very much!
