My Late 2015 IMac running Monterey keeps going into kernel panic, any reasons why?

I have owned this Mac since 2017, but ever since I switched my os to Monterey, the lag has gotten terrible, and it goes into kernel panic randomly. Sometimes it’s as soon as I log in, sometimes it’s when I open an app, and sometimes it’s just random. I don’t think I have any corrupted software, and the only damaged thing (i think) is my screen. Nothing else seems wrong, and I’d really like to know why it does this. Thank you!

iMac 21.5″

It would be impossible to guess what the problem(s) is(are) without more information.


As such, I suggest that you run an EtreCheck report, and optionally post it here if you need assistance with interpreting its results. In case you are not familiar with EtreCheck, it is a diagnostics tool, created by a valued forum member, that greatly aids in troubleshooting difficult Mac issues.
