iMac 2020 crashes
iMac of one of my collegues keeps getting crashes at the weirdest moment.
We just replaced the RAM modules back to the original 2x4GB after the last crash.
Suggestions welcome.

Have you run Disk First Aid?
Have you reinstalled the OS yet?

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

No crashes till now (1.5 working day later). We bought the Corsair from a Dutch website where we ordered memory and computer stuff before. It's still under warranty, so i returned it yesterday so they can check it. But i'm pretty sure the crashes were caused by a error in 1 of the RAM modules as now it's working like normal (but slower because of just 8GB instead of 128GB).
F-Secure was uninstalled and still crashes.
So my guess would be hardware. As mentioned; i took out the 4x32 RAM (Corsair) and put the original 2x4GB back in. Until now no crashes.
Oh. missed that... Corsair RAM, only use Crucial or OWC, Macs are picky...

Does the iMac crash with only the origin RAM modules installed?
Where did you get the 3rd party RAM?
I only have 2 guesses after reviewing that...
F-Secure
Hardware issue
Hmmm, has it still been behaving with the old RAM, I've necer had bad EAM from OWC & only one bad RAM from Crucial, I generally don't mention Crucial due to that.
+1 on using Crucial memory.
Mac computers are sensitive to memory, and even if Corsair memory worked previously, it could be causing an issue now.

We have used Corsair "Mac memory" for years and never had any problems with it.
While with Crucial i already had 2 times a bad batch.
Hi,
Yes we reinstalled the OS as that was our first guess.
