From the kernel dump cannot be said very much about the cause of the kernel oops. So you have to narrow down the possible reason. If you have stable software running then it is mostly a hardware defect. First you should look at the The Boot Problems Sticky and follow it. Then I would try to run the RasPi with an unmodified image Raspbian Stretch Lite. If this also fails after some days it is very likely that your Raspberry Pi Zero W has a problem. If it runs stable you should look at your installation what additional software do you have installed that may cause the kernel oops.

  • Thanks for the tips! btw, I tired swapping to a new pi, same issue. After upgrading the kernel it hasn't cashed for a while now. Going to test this longer.
