Jun 23, 2015 4:26 AMby alfa78,HelpfulYou're not alone!!! Apple must fix this issue because it's a software problem! I went to Genius Bar and the checked hardware of my Mac Mini Late 2012 and all is ok!!!
Let's open a ticket to https://bugreport.apple.com/ about concerning this Yosemite 10.10.3 bug!!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
When you post the report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Jun 23, 2015 10:02 AMby alfa78,We (me and all people in several forums...) did ANY KIND OF TEST, any reports, any etc...
The problem is software, the problem appeared after upgrading Yosemite 10.10.3. The problem regards all Mac machines having Intel Graphics HD 4000 as GPU. STOP!!! Apple has to fix it!!!

Jun 24, 2015 8:53 AMby Linc Davis,It's likely that your problems are caused by a hardware fault. If you've replaced the original memory, reinstall it and see whether the panics stop. Otherwise, see below.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Jun 24, 2015 10:44 AMby moisemust,@Eric Root: What if I need these programs? I won't uninstall anything I'm using daily because of Apple's derp.
@Linc Davis: Please understand if we are so many to experience these same issues at the same time, after updating our 2012 Mac minis to 10.10.3, the only hardware fault we must all have is the Mac mini itself. And for a second I thought it were the 16 GB of RAM but people with less RAM are also experiencing these issues on the other thread. So the only reason I'd take my Mac to the Apple Store is Apple giving me a new update fixing these problems or a working Mac. I have to say I'm really tempted to ditch my Mac for a PC once Windows 10 will be out because of Apple's rising greed with the software being worse and worse and that I hate more every day.

Is the RAM 3rd party RAM or all Apple installed RAM? If it is 3rd party then remove it, and leave only the original Apple RAM installed and see if the problems continue.
If it is 3rd party RAM where did you get it?
