Hi. I've got a MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017)/ 2.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7/ 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 running Monterey 12.7.6. I've got 179 routined app crashes and I'm too dumb to figure out how to read the crash report :( - Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you recently install the Seagate software?
Have you tried adding the external hard drives to the privacy preferences for Spotlight?
Seagate's software may not play well with the older OS. Verify with the Seagate tech support that the version you have has been tested with it.
Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?
In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.
Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.
Thx you very much for the reply! Yes, I installed the Seagate Toolkit app when I began using 2 Seagate Ultra Touch (2 TB) HDD's for Time Machine backups. I uninstalled it and removed the kernel extension. Crashes continued & file speed got very high so, I just ended up running apple diagnostic which didn't show anything. Then last night I:
-Reset smc & nvram
-Ran 1st aid in recovery on start up disk (Along w/ it's container and 2 volumes)
-Ran 1st aid on 2 external backup drives
-Erased disk
-Reinstalled Monterey in recovery
-Restored my user account & data with Time Machine backup
Routined crashes (11 so far, today) started again today as soon as FileVault finished encrypting and I signed back into my iCloud account. I'm getting 2-3 crashes anytime I log in + other random times.
Btw, crashes started after 2 previous wipe & reinstalls - Both due to hash mismatch errors which seem notoriously specific to Monterey - I'm assuming the 2 are related? I'll try adding the external hard drives to the privacy preferences for Spotlight & report back.
I'll attach an EtreCheck I ran this afternoon.
Scrap that, I see you already did, and the screen didn't refresh when I started reading. Looking over the results
P.S. Guess I should probably run memtest86 in Terminal. Never done it before - Terminal kinda scares me. Do I just enter memtest86 in the command line & it shows me if it finds any hardware memory problems?
OK. Spotlight wouldn't let me add my external disks to privacy preferences because they are both Time Machine backup folders.
Yes sir. Ran 1st aid in Recovery on 2 volumes, the container, and the SDD itself + Time Machine backup disk - No problems reported by disk utility.
