Kernel panic - bad RAM?

Looking for some help please.


My MacBook had recently stopped working (never completing start up, screen working/not working/keyboard working/not working). I took it to a Genius Bar and the Diagnostic test came back as a pass (apart from the battery).


So I reinstalled the OS in recovery mode and now when I try to boot up I get a kernel panic.


Could anyone please tell me what this is in relation to?


Many thanks


Paul


MacBook, macOS 11.6

Apple has a support page about kernel panic that might help you:

If following Apple's suggestions carefully hasn't solved the problem,

you might want to make use of Etrecheck.


Etrecheck is a free download, and it can generate a helpful report

(eg: to locate all the bits of any non-Apple software causing a problem so you can ensure it is removed).
