A while ago my 11-inch, Early 2015 macbook air with a 2 core 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 and 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 started having panic reports, after taking it to a apple store they said they could replace the hard drive to fix it but that was too expensive. Because of the price I decided to fix it on my own buying a cheap mac nvme ssd from amazon. This fixed it for a while but the kernel panics started again and even after multiple macOS high sierra reinstalls it still happens. Also whenever i try to update past high sierra it gets stuck.
The panics appen about twice a day but some days it dose it over and over again and some days there can be none.
This is what happens when it crashes, first the applications freeze and stop then the mouse turns into a spinning ball then, after about 4 seconds the mouse stops after that it takes about 0.5 more seconds and either just shows black for a while then shows a flashing file with a question mark(restating gets it out of this) or it will say, "your mac restarted because of a problem" then restarts.
Here's the most recent panic report
