Kernel panic sleep Catalina 15.4

Hi,


Ever since upgrading to Catalina 15.4 4 days back. Getting a sleep kernel panic. System restarts evertime I wake it from sleep.

Its to the level I am afraid of putting it to sleep any longer.


I am on 16" Macbook pro, and using since 3 months and Issue never came before 15.4 update

You have a ton of third-party extensions installed any one of which could be causing the problem. The panic log suggests that it started in the video drivers. Boot the computer into Safe Mode and see if the panics continue.

Kernel panics are indicative of possible hardware failure, so you should Check your Mac with hardware diagnostics or AHT. Kernel panic logs are found in: /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ folder.


If you have no success figuring what is happening then you may need to examine the software you have running when the panics occur. Be sure it’s all current. If you must to resolve the problem erase the disk and reinstall macOS. Follow this outline to reset the computer to the factory-new state: Factory reset of your Mac - Apple Support.


Boot Into Safe Mode


  1. If your Mac isn’t already shut down, then shut it down and wait at least 30 seconds before rebooting.
  2. Immediately, at or before the chime, press and hold down the SHIFT key. 
  3. Release the key after the Apple logo and progress bar appear.
  4. Safe mode startup is much slower than normal startup, so be patient.
