Early 2015 MacBook Pro running 10.13.3 kernel panics frequently

kernel-panic crash high-sierra

My early 2015 MBP keeps having kernel panics. I cannot seem to figure out what causes them from the error reports nor can I pin down a certain behavior that triggers them. Has anyone also experienced similar frequent panics? I have run the built in hardware diagnostics serval times as well as EtreCheck and nothing seems to be faulty...

Specs are:

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
  • Processor 2.9 GHz Intel
  • Core i5 Memory 8GB 1867 MHz DDR3

  • Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

I probably experience similar issues with my early 2015-MBP @16GB Ram. To me it appears possible, that my system never ran 100% stable, but I blamed a combination of USB-2xRJ45-Adaptor and VMWare Fusion - until the freezes of my system made it impossible to work. I ran the Apple-Diagnostic-Tool (d boot), stating the system is fine. However, memtest86 (usb Boot stick) eventually crashes at #13-Hammer-Test with cannot start CPU2. To me it appears to be an escalated hardware issue, probably existing since beginning

Would the two of you be so kind and report, how your issues “turned out” or what the final diagnosis on your systems was?

Thank you a lot. Cheers from Berlin. enter image description here
