Apple Imac interittantly crashing

[MARTIN_R6]

Hi, hope someone might be able to help / assist with this one.
I recently upgraded an Imac to macOS Sequoia version15.6.1.
Since upgrading my mac crashes intermittantly. Despite going through closing everything and ensuring all apps are updated etc I just cant seem to put my finger on what is causing the issue.
I took my mac to the Apple Store and they diagnosed that there was an error on the logic board and suggested that be replaced. I was happy to replace as the issue makes it quite worrying when working on larger files on this mac. I had the Logic Board and therefore also a new hard drive installed and got the mac back last week. Today the issue has happened again. I know I could go back to Apple and start again but I wondered if anyone has experienced the same thing and knows of a fix or workaround. I expect this is software driven as Apple have run all diagnostics now and say the machine is good also it didn't do this prior to upgrading the OS.

Appologies for the war and peace message.

The error I get when it restarts is:
