SOLVED Imac kernel panic

[Ancalagon]

Hello, good morning. I've had an iMac computer since 2015, but for a while now it has been suffering from kernel panics and I'm not quite sure why it happens. i'm assuming it's because of a hardware piece that's not working properly.
This is the message that appears:

Spoiler: kernel panic message

I can't read it to save my life, so I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with it.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have had a few Kernel Panic situations in my Lon Mac history. and it is more likely some software in the unix core has had a crash because of a missing/deleted or corrupted kernel. I doubt it is. hardware problem.

and sad to say, fixed them by re installing a clean new system.

you would try deleting caches and prefs. and try starting by holding down the shift key...

found this on Tube.

regards, Sandy

Thank you, Sandy! I guess I'll have to do a backup of my files and do a wipe.
