"BAD MAGIC! (flag set in iBoot panic header)" — Catalina freezing all the time!

FYI. Tonight it BAD MAGIC:ed even without an external screen connected. It did have the plexgear USB-C to USB-A connected though. Will try tonight to have it completely clean.

my previous macbook crashed whenever i played netflix. also i got a free subscription of apple tv for a year with my replacement mac. don't know if it is common or just a compensation ;)

I tried disconnecting the eGPU when lid close/open, no matter what I do it still reboot the next time I open the lid. really weird issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, I might try that too.

Did you just did "Revive the firmware on the Apple T2 Security Chip" part? or also revive firmware for your iMac Pro?

We did not pay money in a gimped state. 😀 Our money does not disappear from their banks with AC fans running full.

I am keeping an HDD full of files which can replicate the issue anytime I want while copying over usbc ports.

I have been running the two monitors without any crashes. I have even left it sleeping for 3 days straight, then came back and woke it, and it has worked like it is suppose to.

That - dear AWAGH - is something everybody in this thread wants to know !

A solution seems to be an Apple-Universe away....

Reset SMC is Apple’s ”Have you tried turning your PC off and on again?”

PERMANENT FIX: GET IT REPLACED UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY.

If you tolerate this issue thinking Apple is going to help you, you will be apalled that they have no intention to do so.

Graphics card switching... try disabling it. I’ve not had an issue since I did it.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.. Didn’t have a crash yesterday so I’m hopeful.

Philux, my response was to gabefromprinceton with the "driver theory" not you :) Think about me iMac Pro + MacBook Pro both fully spec'd. I lost my customers and many hours of editing on FCPX.

Connecting a USB-C gigabit ethernet adapter to the MAC or to the LG Ultrafine hub will cause my 16" to panic every couple of hours so that might be worth a try.

I got my 16’ MBP replaced and haven’t have had any crashes in the first 4 days! If you’re experiencing the problem just get your computer replaced...
