macos catalina keeps restarting my computer

I have the same issue, but I don't see the debug screen after the failure and it happens less frequently. Today the computer crashed after 22 hours, while being in standby mode. Usually it then restarts into the login screen of the previous user. The problem appeared only after I upgraded to Catalina.

Configuration:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), RAM 18 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Laptop is connected to power and battery is full.

Library/LaunchDemons: com.apple.installer.osmessagetracing.plist and two plist from com.philandro.anydesk. Nothing else in LaunchDemons or LaunchAgents

In the Preferences are additionally Fuse and GPG Suite.

Otherwise no apps running. (not even from Apple)

I recently upgraded to 10.15.4 - no improvement. The Mac still restarts itself. (But additionally the OS now forgets my keyboard layout when I need to enter the password after restart.)

I don't have that problem on my MacBook Air with the same software configuration.

It's really not easy to do work on my Mac while the OS is that unreliable. A fix would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having this problem as well. 21.5in 2019 iMac i7 32GB. Running Catalina 10.15.4.

The restart because of a problem happens virtually any time I leave a screensaver up or put the computer to sleep for a few hours. I come back and it is on the boot-up password screen again, multiple times a day.

I have exactly the same isue and your description "with a woof of air" i alse recognize.

Now i'm even on the dev version of Catalina (10.15.5) and still the same problem.

Would be nice that somebody from apple has a solution because this is driving me nuts.

uncontrolled restarts... (in the middle of a upgrade, app, ... i don't see any patern)

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7

Yeah, same here. Seems to be a popular issue with Catallina.

Just got a new MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2.6Ghz, 16 GB RAM) and basically each time I open it from a >1 hour sleep cycle I'm greeted by that same popup. On some days it's happened even 5 times. I keep sending the diagnostic info, hoping someone is paying attention there.

That + each time being greeted by those "xyz needs permission, if you have already given the permission deselect and select again" is driving me crazy.

Please Apple, make the next version of MacOS a bug fix/optimisation update

thank you for asking; will return the MacBook as this is not acceptable. same issue this morning, computer restarted because of a problem, frustrating. panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8015216487): "AppleIntelFramebuffer::setPowerState(0xffffff81c442b000 : 0xffffff7f987c8d88, 1 -> 0) timed out after 45949 ms"@/AppleInternal/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-6153.101.6/iokit/Kernel/IOServicePM.cpp:5296....

@Merthade - thank you for your reply.

System reinstalled. Will let you know tomorrow morning, as this notorious message comes with the breakfast (every day!). Is any official position taken by Apple on this regard?

Those of us with 16' MacBook Pros can't downgrade, because it ships with Catalina.

I also tried my luck at reinstalling, without success. Next morning = already 2 restarts.

I'm with DesignStunt - hope everyone keeps posting comments here so Apple takes note.

Cheers

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

@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

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.
