Panic CPU CATERR detected (error)

Yes, you probably will. I have started to have tis problem in my Mac mini after installing Big Sur! I was thinking to downgrade it to Catalina.

Same issue, 2020 iMac. Dell 24" (USBC to HDMI cable), Thunderbolt display with TB2 to TB3 (apple adaptor).

I have a 2018 Mac book Air and it started acting up 4-5 days ago and still by freezing black screen shut down and getting the same report

Has anyone checked this solution?

Keeps happening. Please see report attached. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Has anybody gotten this resolved? I'm having the same problem, but not sure what to do.

Exactly same issue still present on my MacBook Pro 16" i9 running 11.4

Very frustrating, must be a known bug they still continue to leave.

Helo! Did you find a solution? I have the same problem for almost 1 year.

Thank you!

I'm having exactly the same pattern of issue at a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7.

I'm joining this thread. Just upgraded to a refurbished 2019 16" - I was hoping these types of issues would be worked out by now... My system is crashing/rebooting constantly. I've noticed an issue with the graphics right before it crashes. If I have it hooked up to an external monitor it will go all green too. Apple support advised me to do a fresh install as diagnostics (pressing D after power on) showed no hardware issue...

My Mac Mini crashed again. Doing nothing special; just web browsing. Screen went black, restarted after several seconds.

The last two crashes I had provided no details after the restart. No crash reports in Console.

Frustrating. Wondering if this will continue in Big Sur?

I have my mini in a horizontal position right beside my LG Display. You should have no worries about the orientation of your Mini. I don't think it's related to the random kernel panics. Mine is warm to the touch during the day when working and I rarely hear my fans turn on.

My Mini is a company purchase and included a RAM upgrade. I want to gather more troubleshooting data and talk to Apple Support first before I open her up.

Do you have an Apple Watch? Wondering if you use "Unlock with Apple Watch" feature. It's not working for me and it's something I'm also troubleshooting on this Mini. Another frustration with no solution. It doesn't unlock my Mac but works when I'm installing software or unlocking System Preferences. I've reinstalled OS in recovery mode and unlock Mac with Apple Watch works for a day and then just stops working again.

I do have an Apple Watch, and funny enough I've been having a separate (or possibly related) issue that may point to that. In addition to the random panics, I also have Bluetooth issues. Again, at seemingly random times, my Bluetooth devices will all disconnect at once (mouse, keyboard and headphones if I'm using them). About 30-45 seconds later, they come back. My Apple Watch almost never works for installing software or unlocking System Preferences, but works for unlocking the Mac almost every time unless it's been "too long" or a kernel panic has caused a restart overnight. I also find that it's a bit finicky regardless - sometimes it doesn't work when I'm standing next to it, but in the next breath will work when I'm on another level of the house and my daughter goes in and hits the keyboard. Wacky!

I just ordered another set of RAM sticks today to swap out and see if that helps my issues with the Panics. I'm actually hoping this is it, even though I ran a two-hour memory test from a bootable USB that came back fine, because I really don't want to start running in Safe Mode or disconnecting things - that have been connected since day one - to try to diagnose this issue. I'm using this computer for 8+ hours a day to work from home, so doing all of that is a inconvenience to say to the least. If the RAM doesn't do it, then I guess I'll go down their (Apple's) steps to eliminate software issues and then get back to them for a hardware replacement/repair.

I hope we both get this figured out sooner than later!!

Hey all,

Im Teo and im new here. So I have a 2018 Mac Mini 3.2ghz i7, 64gb Ram and AMD Radeon Rx 5700XT GPU. Im having the same issue as you all and it is driving me insane. So all my issues started with my GPU and Monitor. I used this MAC before on its own only connected thru HDMI to an acer monitor for 2 months with no issues. As soon as I hooked up the GPU and LG 38" UHD monitor is when all these issues started to occur. Now, I have two mac mini's that run side by side. The other Mac Mini is a 2012 2.5Ghz core i5. The only time I have an issue is with the thunderbolt connection to the monitor. My GPU is enclosed in a Node Titan Thunderbolt 3 enclosure. It has been buggy since day one to say the least. Using HDMI in the 2012 I have never once had a single issue with the setup. When connecting using thunderbolt, displayport on the 2018 it will crash various times per day.

After reading tons of message boards about this I decided to change my thunderbolt cable and try out the oem that came with the monitor (I had been using an amazon $60 T3 cable up to then). The change stopped the crashes by about 50%. Now I was getting 1 or 2 crashes per day. This is under my normal use of about 12-15hrs which consists of gaming, music production, internet browsing. Pretty heavy usage if i'm being. honest. Also, the 2018 kept overheating. When checking temps the cpu were in the 170-205f range. I was shocked. I have since purchased a cooler stand from amazon and removed the bottom cover and I tried using the MAC Fan control app which seemed to cause some issues of its own when running.

I have tried running my monitor with HDMI bypassing the eGPU and all seemed ok for a days time and then sure enough it crashed but different than usual. This time it was hard to restart, got stuck in a loop of what seemed like safe booting that only stopped when plugging it back into the eGPU and a hard reset (I know, makes no sense).

Im perplexed and Apple has been no help. I plan on trying a new eGPU once the new AMD cards are out but only after an erase and fresh install of Mac Os. Ive paid a lot of money for this system and it is totally absurd that Apple pretends like this has nothing to do with them. Im convinced the problems are in the OS and drivers. (Just a guess of course).

Hopefully some kind of magic or miracle happens soon. Feeling completely defeated.
