    Need help with Mac mini crash

    I have a 2012 Mac mini that suddenly stopped booting. It will go into a continuous loop of trying to reboot and show the following kernel panic screen. I've heard it could be either a RAM issue or motherboard failure. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated.
