Cause of this kernel panic IOVideoPocketCamDevice::terminate
When I started my iMac 27-inch, it shows the message "your computer has been restarted because of an error".
I searched on the internet and Apple's site said that it might be a software issue so I reinstalled macOS, but even after that the same error is showing after boot up within ~20seconds
Could anyone help by reading the following log report, whether it's software or hardware issue? and which apps should I delete in safe mode? Also when I boot up in safe mode the screen would transition slowly in horizontal lines(is this normal?)
Solution 1:
Seems /Library/Extensions/IOVideoPocketCam.kext hasn't been updated for High Sierra. Remove this kext and reboot the machine.
- Boot into Safe Mode (hold ⇧ whilst turning Mac on until Apple logo) and log in as usual.
Safe Mode disables all third-party extensions so this problematic kext won't be loaded. - Open Finder, press ⇧⌘G and enter
/Library/Extensions. - Find IOVideoPocketCam.kext and delete the file (move to Trash).
- Reboot as normal.
