Recently, im not sure if a update or something caused it but my macbook pro 2017 (8gb RAM) has suddenly just wiped my touchbar from the existence of earth. I cannot find any of its related settings in system settings and have tried multiple solutions such as:
-Resetting NVRAM and SMC
-Force quitting TouchBarServer
-Reinstalling MacOS
-Doing multiple restarts and shutdowns
-Booting in safe mode
None of these has worked, and recently, ive noticed my computer is crashing every couple of minutes and so, with the same error "Your computer has restarted because of a problem"
Im extremely lost and dont know whats going on. I need help and I don't REALLY wanna purchase another laptop

Restart my laptop?
Oh I guess u already did that mb
Could u try resetting if that’s an option? If not that’s understandable
And if that doesn’t work downgrading to 13.6 or 13.7.0

How can i downgrade?

How can i downgrade?
Uhhhh
You might do research since I’ve never done it, but I would think it is making a usb installer and then booting off of it, which will also reset the Mac
That’s what people do to downgrade major versions (like 14 to 13), and I would think the same for single point versions (like 13.7 to 13.6)
Since you’ve tried all those things you listed, there aren’t many options left software-related, and we can’t directly help with hardware issues
