Kernel panic sleep Catalina 15.4

I had the exact same issue, brand new MBP 16 inch with upgraded graphics card. Sent it back for a full replacement and after it going to sleep for a few hours (plugged in) SAME EXACT PROBLEM again!

This is ridiculous, sorry I don't have an answer, but I feel your pain. I totally disagree this is an issue with 3rd party apps or extensions because with the original machine I had, I wiped it clean and still had the problems.

I’m curious to get your thoughts on why it might be the AMD driver (or hardware)?

Forcing the OS to use integrated only didn’t seem to improve anything for me.

that being said, I will concede there is some definite flakiness with TB3 devices.

i have another identical MBP I just received Monday. Virgin setup with only iCloud and 10.15.3 running. No KPs during sleep, but also doesn’t seem to stay asleep. Also, it did KP a few minutes after detaching it from TB3 LG 5K display.

I honestly am struggling to find a workable scenario.

Doesn't explain why brand new machine idling rattled through 50% of battery in less than an hour. Apple has big issues to resolve. They aren't as simple as turn off Power Nap. That's not doing any battery any good at all. The thing got hot whatever was hitting it. Anycase it got sent back until resolved.

I got brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch, 64GB RAM this week and the same kernel panic occurred twice.

I only installed google chrome, iterm2, with brew package manager.

I also updated OS and the filevault is turned on.

The OS is Catalina 10.15.4.

No crash. The only „strange” thing is that I can turn it on only with power button. But as long as Touch ID is there no brainer at all.

That’s why I am wondering return or not. People in other thread told me “don’t live in fear return only small percentage have problem”. If it is hardware issue I will return even tomorrow. If it is software it doesn’t matter if it is new or used machine. Bug can appear every time you install new system or update. That’s how it works. People may return their machine and tell “hey the new one works well” but still it could be related to soft. New machine means same soft but different installation process maybe without bug

I mean probably the right thing to do is to upgrade but I really dont want to send this brand new Mac again that I jut bought !

this is a very strange situation !

maybe ill wait for the next update ? any thoughts ?>

I fully understand you but on the other hand what will you do in the future? Will you stuck with this one and only soft? I don't think so.

If you upgrade and error occurs again it will be clear info that it is soft issue. It will be good info because probably you will be able to fix it or better word hide it with some fixes. Then you will wait for update which solves this problem.

Do you use Parallels?

you right .

I upgraded last night , the issue didn't come back .

im willing to use bootcamp to install windows , if that answer your question

last time I had the issue it kinda grow from day to day .lets wait

Same Issue. Brand new MacBook Pro 16inch 2019. I took it back to the store and exchanged it for a new machine after 1 week because I thought it was faulty hardware issue, now on brand new machine and same crashes.

I don't know what to do, $6000 machine, do I take it back for full refund until the resolve the issue????

A minor correction. macOS does not use the EFI partition. There is nothing stored there. Try mounting it on your Desktop and looking inside. It's empty. The reason for Erasing the physical disk is to remove the Recovery HD or the hidden volumes created by APFS that includes a Recovery volume.

Yeah I’m just getting the same thing right now on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro 15” 2.8ghz DG

been working on this all day. Went from installing original old OSX but then it just shuts down half way through. Anyone solve this problem yet?

Hi there,

My mac Pro 16 has the same problem, it shuts down every time when goes to sleep mode. In my case it started (looks like) after installing Anaconda for Python.

Talked to couple of Apple representatives that could not find any answer....

Brand new 2020 13" 4 thunderbolt, 32GB ram macbook pro.

Observed first crash with 10.14. Updated to 10.15 and still crashing.

Computer crashes *every* time I attempt to use mission control or spaces. Mission control works in safe mode. PRAM/NVRAM/ SMC resets do not fix.

I was able to fix one time by creating a new user account, logging into that account and then returning to primary account.

Seems related to external monitor use, but I cannot seem to fix the problem this time. Computer is basically unusable.

Frequent kernel panics. Removed all third party kexts and problem persists.

Then it is either a bug in Apple's kernel extensions, or you have a hardware fault.

I have the same problem on my 16- inch MacBook. I do not have a ton of third party extensions. Before 15.4 everything works fine.
