Is my head gasket gone?

Got a Fiat Bava 2001, Mileage 80k.

When I turn the car on. The engine management light keeps flashing and the car keeps shaking. The power of the car is completely lost. When I press the gas the engine keeps shaking and keeps making a loud noise.

There is also little bit of white smoke that comes out of the exhaust. The car never over heated.

I done a diagnostic test on the car and the fault it found was "Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected"

Anyone has any ideas what it may be? Thanks

sounds like a plug or 2 missing, Coil pack? I think the "white smoke" might be unburnt gasses
