Random kernel panic crashes

I have for a long time (a few years) had problems with my iMac crashing randomly. I always thought the crashes were related to some faulty system files, as I used to get error messages popping up regarding system files not being installed properly. A few days ago I did a clean install however, but I'm still experiencing these seemingly random crashes. The screen goes black and I get the "Your computer restarted because of a problem." kernel panic message. Sometimes the computer crashes several times in a row. Here's the crash report:
