macos catalina keeps restarting my computer

@DesignStunt; @Merthade; you're right, once again the same issue this morning "Your computer was restarted because of a problem" ..Today 20 Apr 6:21panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8019291b2c): Sleep transition timed out after 180 seconds while notifying clients about upcoming system capability changes. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily. Thread 0x74.

Backtracing specified thread.... -

It's sad. While Apple "takes note", will return the MBP 16.

@DesignStunt; @Merthade; @GreenBadger; thank you for support. Will keep following this thread.

i got a refub macbook pro 16 i7 3 day ago an for the last 2 days ive gotten this restart messgae too . dont know whats going on. i finally left windows after more the 15 years just to see that macs are no different?

@Diddycarter;

welcome to the club! Which config you have?

As concerning the "restart" issue, don't waste your time on resetting SMC, VRAM...reinstalling Catalina, ...calling the apple support, will not change! Unacceptable.

Hey dbgfede, I'll wait a few months and repurchase probably after I see all the posts of things being fixed (if they are fixed). I'll just keep using my old ones running fine :(

Thanks hang in there

I started a procedure (complaint) with my local apple store (supplier) because the problem was already there from day 1.

But to have it selected as a DOA device it needs to be within 8 days prior to the invoice date.

At the end the sollution was a -> new motherboard (mainboard) and wait for ok from apple en then waiting to be replaced... or b --> new Mac.

Finally I got the new Mac and for now no problem what so ever.

I just stoped checking the software problems and don't think is has to do with Catalina.

But that is was just a hardware malfunction.

@LexDMat; how was your configuration? i7, i9, Ram? GPU?

I guess you're right, it is something related to hardware, so Apple should be able to quickly identify the issue, and start new line. Don't know what to do? Would you advice to wait or to go for a new order (i.e. a new MBP16). thank you

I am out of my return window and we don't have any official Apple Stores here, so going to a certified reseller + the whole pandemic thing might mean I would be stuck without a laptop for a long while.

Currently I have no choice but to wait and hope that it can be solved with a software patch

Thank you to everyone who reported their problems. I was concerned I was getting the restarts because I’m on an older machine, but seeing that brand new ones have the same problem gives me a little reassurance. I came here after having my machine restart on me for no reason right in the middle of work. Frustrating beyond belief. I’m going to explore downgrading to Mojave since it sounds like some people have had better luck with that.

imac19,1 10.15.4 I have the exact same issues. Right out the box. I had random shut downs with error message. I’ve tried everything this thread has talked about! 3 months old! No 3rd party apps. I monitor the console and it’s dumping 3,000 + errors and faults continues.

very upset to spend $4,000 on a obvious known issue. Apple... if I wanted a windows computer.. I would have bought one..

....wait I think I just have!

Poor service and poor tech service! You guys are better than this!! Apple is quality!

Apple certainly isn't quality when it comes to desktops and laptops. I've owned 3 imacs and every one has had a hardware issue within the first 1 or 2 years. I've also owned two macbook pros and they both run very hot, loud fans and sluggish. I'm done with apple computers.

I had similar issue after upgrading to Catalina. Before upgrade my system would constantly freeze with spinning wheel. After upgrade system would continuously reboot. I booted Ubuntu from USB to remove macOS as a variable. Ubuntu immediately warned that hard drive was about to fail. Replaced fusion drive with new SSD in 2012 mac mini and everything resolved.

Found a simple answer to this otherwise complicated problem - from one of the responses on this site.

Opened my CleanMyMac X, chose Malware Removal. After a few minutes it reported all malware removed.

Son of a gun. It was done. Wish I'd thought to do that days ago

@dbgfede Thank you for your suggestion. The laptop where I experience that issue, however, doesn't have that option. I just see "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" and "Slightly dim the display while on battery power" (for Battery) or "Wake for network access" (for Power Adapter).

The Power Nap option is available on my MacBook Air where I don't experience that bug.

Hey @poil66, I had the same problem not knowing why then it came to my mind I upgraded my RAM to 128Gb and used RAM modules from different companies a absolute no go. So I took out 64Gb now I have left 64GB in my iMac from the same company. Never had a Crash again.
