Why is my 2012 Mini having kernel panics? I need help reading the panic report and console log.
So I've had this 2012 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Mac Mini and 16GB of OWC RAM for about a year. Currently running 10.10.3. In the time, I've already had to replace the first one I got due to a serious hardware issue. I have had intermittent problems with the replacement unit also, having random restarts/snowy screen incidents. I figured it was just my TV/HDMI connection losing the "handshake" as it seems to be a common problem amongst other Mac Minis. There's a huge thread on the Apple forum about it. However, I recently got a new monitor and it still has the same problem when going HDMI to DVI using the converter in the box.
More recently, instead of just getting a snowy screen and a restart, I'm getting legitimate kernel panics with the multi-language text and all. Can anyone help me decipher the error report? It doesn't seem to be reproducible as it's happened under varying circumstances. Last time I was using VLC, this time I was saving a photo from the internet. Boom. Black, then white for a while (sometimes a long while), then the kernel panic text. Here is the panic report that came up after I logged in again:

I have no idea how to interpret this information, but I would really appreciate the help if someone could give me some insight into what might be going on.
