MacBook Pro 16 keeps restarting in sleep

Hi I've got this error for about a week now and it always happens when the laptop is plugged in to the 87W Apple USB C charger from my old MacBook Pro 15" (2017). It's quite annoying as when I resume from sleep the laptop would boot and I have to reopen my browser windows. If anyone could help I'd appreciate knowing what the issue is, if it's something software or hardware related. Thanks!

I have this hub: Powered USB Hub, BYEASY Aluminum USB ... - Amazon.com but bought it only for the price.


All I use it for is to connect a self powered external Optical drive, and charging and syncing to an iPhone. Occasionally add my wireless keyboard via charging cable to charge and use as a wired keyboard. No severe loads involved.


You might want to look for one with more ports if you need them. The input power would be more in line with running more items off of it. This link shows those offered at Amazon.com. A good selection.

I have had the same experience with my MacBook Pro 16. I was very comfortably working from home with my Mac cradled in clamshell mode, connected to the same external monitor I had used for years with two prior MacBook Pro 15s. Then, around the time the last Catalina update hit, my MBP16 started to reboot itself after waking from sleep. I've tried resetting the SMC, resetting the PRAM, I've run First Aid on the disk, all to no avail. Apple's support agents tell me the next step is for me to wipe the drive and start with a fresh install of Catalina which I am reluctant to do, largely because most of what I've read from others in my boat, it won't have any effect.


The whole thing is very disappointing.

Unfortunately you will need to follow the Apple process. EVentually you will get to the point where they want to replace the logic board. The problem is in the OS and you can find many people in this thread and other forums have been through the process without much luck. I wish you well on the journey of spending alot of your time trying to make an Apple product function.
