Frequent Kernel Panics

[ndma22]

I'm having very frequent Kernel panics on my laptop with the following specs:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
MacOS: Monterrey 12.3

I already took it to an Apple Store and they checked all the hardware, they said it's perfectly fine. They suggested downloading apps one by one to see which one was causing the panic. The first thing I downloaded was Google Chrome and I started having panics right away. Furthermore, when checking the panic reports in the Console utility app, there seem to be panics happening for different reasons. How could I solve this? It's incredibly frustrating and after hours wasted on the line with Apple support and having taken it to the Genius Bar, I just don't know what to do anymore.

Attaching here some of the panic logs...

I too have been having them on my i9 iMac (2019) since updating to 12.2.1. They seem to coincide with wi-fi and/or Bluetooth flakiness. Can anyone decipher the following?

I noticed crashes tend to coincide with 1) video playing in Chrome and 2) messages entering whatsapp desktop. Those are two non-apple programs that might be triggering something, but I find it improbable that they alone are the cause of this. I mean, if Chrome and Whatsapp where just generally causing kernel panics on MacBooks, half the world would be posting about this, right? How could I find the true cause behind it all? I can't uninstall those two programs because of work, so I'm trying to find the true cause behind it all.

The most likely cause for a Kernel Panic issue occurring in MacOS is faulty software, damaged or incompatible hardware, including external drives attached to the Mac. To fix the issue, try the below steps:

1. Restart your Mac in Safe Mode and check for updates.
2. Uninstall any plug-ins or 3rd party software from manufacturers other than Apple.
3. Disconnect all connected devices.
4. Use Apple diagnostics to diagnose the problem.
5. Do general troubleshooting
6. Reset PRAM/NVRAM settings
7. Reset SMC (System Management Controller) settings
8. Reset the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)

Hope it helps!

Given all you did was supply a bullet list of items with no actual detail, no, it doesn’t.

For example “5. Do general troubleshooting” - What on earth is “General Troubleshooting”.

And “8. Reset the GPU” - er, wut???? How the hell you reset the GPU?

 

[WebHead]

Turned out my kernel panics were the result of a failing HD, which is now replaced. Good luck to everyone else troubleshooting theirs!

 

[Artiste212]

Great - it seems #3 on that list was the answer. Very good reason for the panics - anything else could have been much harder to track down.

 

[WebHead]

OK, no sooner had my kernel panics resolved than I just had another one, this time related to Chrome Helper. Is this is a known/frequent occurrence?

I have a 2019 13” MacBook Pro and around the time I used Monterey, it started showing “Volume hash mismatch errors,” suggesting a reinstall of macOS. The errors weren’t that frequent so I just lived with it.

Enter Ventura and I got kernel panics everywhere. So I completely erased the internal SSD and reinstalled. Guess what, still got kernel panics within minutes.

After some googling, someone mentioned broken/corrupted/outdated T2 security chip firmware. (Even Apple mentions some Macs could have faulty firmware that acts up with Monterey.) This can be addressed by restoring the said firmware from a second Mac using a software called Apple Configurator. Luckily I could do that and now the MacBook Pro seems much more reliable. (1 day in, 0 kernel panics)

If you don’t have a second Mac to do this process, then try taking it to a repair shop and deliberately ask for the T2 firmware to be restored.
