you can try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

to clear systems cache


  Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache,  etc.  Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.



In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a  reboot will put it back to normal mode.

Is this a brand new Mac out of the box, or you have been using it for some time?


Secure Enclave Processor


Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295



If SMC does not resolve the issue— I fully suspect you have a hardware issue and I would waste no time escalating the issue :


Call (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)

or on line https://getsupport.apple.com/

or call AppleCare Support at 1-800-APLCARE.
