Let's take a look at the first two kernel panics shown in the EtreCheck report as these are the most troublesome.
For the first one:
A watchdog timeout error, typically indicates that a process took too long to respond or the system was otherwise unresponsive for an extended period. The macOS watchdog is a system feature that monitors kernel processes and triggers a panic if it detects something is severely wrong.
The following are some potential reasons for this type of panic:
- A hardware issue: This could be related to faulty RAM or failing SSD. It also could be related to an attached peripheral. One quick check would be to remove any peripherals connected to your laptop. Run it for a few days to see if the panics reoccur. If it doesn't, add one peripheral back at a time, and test again.
- A software driver issue: Some third-party kernel extensions, especially those related to hardware drivers or system utilities, can lead to these problems.
For the second one:
This panic seems to be related to a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) link timeout. This typically indicates that there’s an issue with the communication between the CPU and a device connected via the PCIe bus, which could be related to hardware like the GPU, SSD, or even certain peripherals.
Both of these seem to indicate an issue with one of your peripherals. That's where I'd start my troubleshooting.
