As the title suggests, I keep getting random kernel panics on this Mac mini. its an early 2009 with 10.12.6.
It happens randomly, but it hasn't done it while idling. I use it as a media player in my living room, I can be watching a video on it and it'll do this. Or if I open an app like safari or something else. It has happened 4 times this week. All the reports are the same except "BSD process name corresponding to current thread" says launchd instead of WindowServer on one of the reports.

I did a RAM test and it didn't find any errors. It doesn't have any issues reading or writing to the hard disk, and the smart status is verified. Though I know hard disks can be bad and not show too many signs... Honestly I hope it is the hard disk because the only other thing I can think of is the logicboard.

Any thoughts?

Next time, go into Console and copy the full report and post that so we can see if there is anything obvious, such as failed kernel extensions, known as kexts.
