[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1808527, member: 46727"] It appears that this is going to be a lot more difficult to find if you can't keep the Mini up long enough to use Etrecheck. Let's try running Etrecheck in safe mode to see what it says. The difficulty about trying to find wayward kexts in Safe Mode is that only what is required to run the machine is allowed to be loaded when in Safe Mode. All third party kexts and startup apps or drivers are suppressed. If all else fails, you're going to need to carefully examine all your apps and startup items to see what's causing the panics. Make sure you're not running any kind of clean up app such as "Clean My Mac", MacKeeper, or any virus checkers or any app that interferes with the system. One of the problems in tracking down this sort of thing is that drivers can be loaded from obscure places. It all depends on the app. You may wind up having to do a clean install of your macOS and then, one by one, load your apps until you find which one or which driver is causing the panics. [/QUOTE]
