2020 iMac with Sonoma frequently restarts itself
My iMac restarts itself at least a couple times a day. It appears to be happening due to a "kernel panic". How can I make this stop?
Hey there!
To start, please create an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a simple, helpful utility to diagnose and identify both software and select hardware issues with your Mac.
Downloading
To get started, download EtreCheck:

Click “download” on the site. The app will be downloaded to your Mac to your downloads location, which is the “Downloads” folder by default. This can be accessed by going to the Finder > Go (in the top menu bar) > Downloads.
Open the app, and generate a report
Open the downloaded application, and follow the initial steps to open the app. Choose a problem in the drop-down menu, and click Start. Creating a report typically takes 2-4 minutes on a healthy Mac.
