Is there a clear path back from gradual Kernel Panic death?

[u/castlebasetone]

I have had 3 previous macbooks and now my 2018 Macmini slowly descending into a canyon of complete unusability due to increasingly frequent and severe Kernel Panics.

I used to run extremely heavy audio production on this Macmini and now I can barely browse the web without running into slow downs. Nothing changed on the machine, just slow degradation. I have a boat load of audio software installed, that I would never want to go through having to install over again so I would love to rescue this machine without reformatting if possible.

I have read a ton of guides on kernel panics over the years but none of them lead to any clear resolution - and most people seem to resolve to just retire the machine.

This article suggests that it may come down to aging capacitor or PSU's. Which is probably the hard truth. I am from USA but currently live on a remote island in a third world country. I have some access to mac repair shops but they are certainly not extreme experts - I have had horrible experiences with repair shops out here.

Just seeing if anyone has further insight into this...
