Mid-2014 15-inch MacBook Pro: Repeated Kernel Panics

Hi all,


Please could you help me diagnose the problem communicated by these repeated Kernel Panics?

This is a mid-2014 15-inch MacBook Pro. I seem to only be able to use it now intermittently with NO peripheral devices connected at all - not even a USB mouse is welcome as it seems to trigger death of WiFi or complete reboot.


I have however managed to submit this entire question using the same machine, without anything connected (not even the power cable, which seems to also aggravate the panics).


ANY help is appreciated folks - i need this computer!

that is a complex failure, possibly processor related.


You have some very invasive stuff loaded including an older unsupported version of VirtualBox, 6.1.22. The latest version (but also unsupported) is 6.1.50. if you don't need that, completely un-Install it while debugging.
