Mac OS 10.15.4: Random restarts due to panic(cpu 1 caller

Update on Repair:

1. installed new logic board
2. installed new Touch Bar id
3. installed new top battery case

Computer now working, but luckily under warranty... would have been a $1700 AUD cost otherwise

After the 10.15.5 upgrade I do no longer have the bridge audio panics on my 2019 16" MacBook Pro. So it disappeared for me.

No crash since Big Sur update. Stay tuned.

I have similar issue with my MacBook. My main guess is that it becomes hot and restarts. Specially when I connect it to two monitors at home it happens more. Here is my MacBook specs:

macOS Catalina. version 10.15.4

Processor: 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9

Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics: Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB

It is a new MacBook and I am going to use the warranty if it continues like this.

I also own a 2018 MBP 13" i7/16GB and was also having Bad Magic crashes when on OS X 10.15.3. I did a Factory Restore and it seemed to help.

However, ever since I updated to OS X 10.15.4, I started getting the CPU CATERR. I am inclined to try another Factory Restore.

Worth mention I have 2 external monitors connected via a CalDigit USB-C hub.

I run AVG Free AV, Little Snitch, iStat, Capto, MS Office, Slack, Chrome and 8x8 in parallel.

Equally frustrated!

Update on my laptop. Apple support told me to go to a 3rd party computer repair service, due to Apple stores being closed in my country. The 3rd party repair store is using my Apple warranty so it will be free.

Apple provided no solutions

In my case it happens when I am running Webstorm with node server inside. When I run node server in iTerm instead of Webstorm terminal I am running smoothly for days. I hope new generation of MacOS will get rid of this issue.

... Ran Disk utility by itself to erase an external drive.... got a system crash....

Ran diagnostics.... came back in as a system crash, same thing ... panic...

Apple Support says I need to reinstall everything from scratch again... and re install WITHOUT using Time Machine..

We HAVE TO ALL DO SOMETHING AS USERS

Yeah mine is just the i9 and 1tb version of the 2019 MacBook Pro 16”. I noticed as well that the issue happens when I’m on a Zoom call and watching Netflix at the same time. I called Apple Support and they had me do a Safe Reboot. I think that helped.

I've had this problem for a few months on my work laptop, even before I upgraded to Catalina. One thing I noticed is that the screen would freeze for a bit, and then before the reboot the fans would go super high for a few seconds and then reboot. I started to wonder if it wasn't a hardware issue of some sort.

Long story short, my company sent me a new laptop, same model, same year, and I used my TimeMachine backup. The problem no longer occurs. I'm left with the realization that it must be a hardware issue.

I have same issue on 2018 macbook pro.

I was running Creative Cloud (Adobe apps), editing video at Premiere Pro. When it freezes, i realize the CPUs temperature is too high.

In the last week, it occoured several times. Im so frustaded. Help us Apple :(

I'm also having this issue with my new Macbook Pro purchase from this week. Becoming more worried that it's a hardware issue but can't pinpoint what's going on.

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)

2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB / Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Early this week, I got a new computer and began to set everything up, downloading software (Chrome, Slack, Word), etc. And 15 minutes in, the computer screen/trackpad froze, the fan went full speed and shut down. That worried me on a new computer. Did not copy the error code.

Continued to have issues shut down issues throughout the week. Whenever the computer was left idle and went to sleep for more than 3+ hours, it would shut down for some strange reason. Always unexpected error shut down error when turning it back on. Didn't copy error code. I did an SMC reset, but it didn't help with the issue.

Today, I decided to factory reset by formatting the hard drive and installing new OS. And the same issue happened to me from day 1. While installing word, the computer screen/trackpad froze, the fan went full speed and shut down.

This is the error that I got and looking for suggestions... Should I get this device looked at by Apple? Would really hate to need to mail these in during these times.

I have had this problem since February 2020 with TWO brand new 16" mac book pros. Apple replaced the first Mac book pro after being unable to fix the problem. I waited three weeks for a new one and within 24 hours of receiving the second brand new 16" mac book pro, the problem occurred twice within 24 hours. It has occured repeatedly every day since. There are no peripherals attached. It sometimes happens when using Word, but there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as an explanation as to why it happens. Engineering has not been able to fix the problem. As soon as the Apple stores open in Manhattan I will return the second new Mac book pro for full credit.

I have these panics too. For me the context is running FaceTime with external audio headphone and then after some usage time of FaceTime, I get a audiobridged panic. It happens several times per day now which is making working from home difficult.

The symptoms are in sequence:

1) Audio dropouts start to increase

2) Audio disappears

3) 3 to 4 minutes later the mouse freezes

4) Then reboot spontaneously
