I have the 10 core iMac. I've gotten occasional kernel panics the whole time I've had it (only since Dec 2020) and they seem to be increasing in frequency. They seem to happen randomly, or at at least processor load has no bearing on when it happens. Sometimes it doesn't shut off properly when I power down, and I get the error screen when it reboots. I swapped out all 4 aftermarket 32GB RAM modules that I purchased from OWC, and it didn't resolve the issue. I updated from Catalina to Big Sur. No dice.
Apple gave me the runaround on phone support. Reinstall the OS, etc. Nothing. Of course I can take it to the genius bar, but I was putting it off due to Covid, and now I'm busy with work and loathe to take the time. I thought I'd check in here to see if anyone might be able to shed some light.
Thanks...
