Hardware can cause a kernel panic, but much more often it's software.


One of the main ideas of EtreCheck is to post the results here so others can see what's going on with your system and make suggestions.


All personal information is automatically redacted. Click on the extra text icon at the bottom of the editing window (on the right between the icons for a URL link and photo for the text). It's too long to put into the main text window.

Have you tried running with the WD Passports disconnected?


WD drives are geat but their Passport enclosures were designed to go on sale every other weekend, not deliver long and stable performance. Whether they are acting up or not, we need to get them out of the picture for testing to make sure they are not contributing to or masking the true cause of the problem.

Yes, the info was posted correctly.


Overall, you have a pretty clean system. That is, not a lot of third party apps installed.


Of what I see, I'd start by getting rid of AntiVirus One. There's no such thing as useful AV software on a Mac. Any user can keep their system malware free by doing two simple things. Never, never, ever download anything from P2P, file sharing or pirate sites. Ans two, always get your software from legitimate sources.


Other than that, the multiple audio drivers may be the problem. It looks like you need them for the audio editing and other such work you do, and it's hard to say which of them, if any, are causing the problem.


I'd hang on to see what other users here may notice that I didn't.
