    Power Nap causing Kernel panic?

    Hi! I woke up around 5 this morning and walked downstairs to get a sip of water. When I walked past my 27" 5K 2019 iMac (3Ghz Core i5) I was unpleasantly surprised to see a blinking folder icon with a '?' on its display. I always put my iMac to sleep when I am going to sleep, but every now...

    2011 iMac Random Reboots

    Hello, I have a 2011 iMac that has been having random about once a day. I have swapped to a K2100m (flashed with Nick's VBIOS) to allow Catalina to run and the kernel panics do seem to be related to this.
