Morning all,

Our venerable (2018, Intel i5, 16GB/1TB SSD oS 13.6.5) and until now, utterly reliable Mac Mini has in the last few weeks suffered the odd random shut-down. It’s happened three or four times in the last month and there’s nothing consistent about what’s going on when it occurs. Symptoms are a complete freeze for a few seconds followed by a burst of fan noise before a complete shut-down (is this what’s known as a “kernel panic”?). Thoughts anybody?

Cheers
Phil

PS. The hard disk is quite full (only 73G available) could this be the culprit?
