Mac mini crashes withpanic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8023e9c4d1): "a freed zone element has been modified

Member
It happened now two times that my mac mini with MacOS with HighSierra 10.13.3 crashes and destroys my Windows 7 virtual machine and my linux VM.
I am running parallels version 13.3.0.
What is wrong?
The panic report says:
** Panic Report ***

If you disconnect all your third-party peripherals and test, do you still get panics? If so then boot into Safe Mode and test. Do you still get panics?

Reinstall the original memory and see whether the panics stop.

It happened two times in the last 5 weeks.
If I disconnect all peripheral (3 USB Devices) the system does not make any sense for me.
The point is, that it did run for almost one year without problems.

What do you mean by „reinstall the original memory"?
