iMac Pro Kernel Panic Causes Restart

My iMac Pro (2017) will often have a kernel panic and restart if I am not actively using it. The full report is attached. Can anyone tell me if they see a reason? Thank you.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.0

2 In the window that opens, enter ~/Library/LaunchAgents, and click Go.

Uninstall CleanMyMac per their directions , then run etrecheck again to see what chaff it left...

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

https://pastebin.com/

Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL...

The important part of the above is...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...

21 spontaneous reboots between May 5 and today at 9:23 am (when I read your instructions and got rid of CMM).

Zero spontaneous reboots since then, and I even left my machine alone for several hours at a time today, just to see if it would restart on its own like it had been doing. It did not. I'm going to check it again in the morning, but I'm hopeful you solved my problem! Who would have thought that a maintenance utility could cause so much trouble? Thank you again for helping me, I sincerely appreciate it!
