Upgrade to Catalina, crash and restart when idle.

Since the upgrade to Catalina, my mac mini keeps crashing and restarting. It seems only to happen when I do nothing on my Mac for a while (leaving it Idle), but no problem when I work on it. How can this be resolved?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

If you are using the screen saver during the idle time or for a time before display sleep?

Try disabling the screen saver and only sleeping your display(s) during the idle time.
