Kernel Panics causing computer to shut down. Is SoftRAID causing this?
I have a 2014 5K iMac. It has been shutting down randomly and the problem seems to be happening more frequently lately. The signs were pointing to my internal SSD going bad because I got the file folder with a question mark a couple times when I started the computer back up. I replaced the SSD but I am still getting random shut downs.
I was hoping someone could read my crash reports and help me identify the problem.
I have 2 non-apple Kexts running. Do you think they may be causing the problem?

When I look at the system log in console this error message keeps popping up repeatedly.

I also saw that the latest version of softraid is causing kernel panics on the M1 macs. Mine is an intel mac but maybe it's doing the same thing to mine? https://www.softraid.com/support/known-issues/
