Kernel Panic - MacBook Pro Apple M1 13 Inch

I am also getting kernel panic errors frequently. It is usually when I am running a game through Steam that I receive this error, but with 16GB of memory and the M1 chip that should be no problem whatsoever. My MacBook Pro freezes, then a black/pink pixel screen pops up, and finally the computer restarts. The error seems to be GPU related in a way. This is worrying and I hope they address it.

That is the only thing I got from support after an hour, and so far on day 2, no crashes on any of the M1 machines. I think they know there is an issue and don't want to say it openly (yet). Who know there the "cpu sleep" rabbit hole goes.

I am sure that @seminolefans is correct that they are getting a lot of these crash reports and while it may not be the direct cause, it is a preventative fix for now.

Given that the M1 and Big Sur are both new to the market, I'll call them both Apple Consumer Beta ready, I am sure there are thousands of bugs to work through. For the first time since working at Apple, I joined the consumer beta program. Normally I wait at least to the .2 version of anything out of Cupertino.

And a correction to my previous post, the problem free unit also hosts weekly zoom meetings for the city artist council, but that is all the software it has. My M1Air has four pages of apps now and has only had the two USB crashes. I don't play games though. Only MS teams, video editing, graphics and business management related work.

My guess for gamers is that the Mac world is not very friendly in the M1/BigSur era just yet. I have yet to find a Mac based game I like so I don't know much here. X-Box One and PS-4 with Logitech Wheel both in the rack though.

If anything changes, I'll check back.

My base M1 Mac Mini crashes every hour or so whilst playing Football Manager 2020. I've tried all of the troubleshooting ideas in this thread (and beyond) but still no luck. Below is a copy of my error report - hopefully an Apple Dev can identify the problem?

Part one:

It appears I may need to contact the vendor, doesn't it? Thanks for your help and advice.

*edit* this report is different from the previous one despite it being the same issue (my end, at least). Any ideas what this means?

Plenty of people, myself included, are having multiple daily crash/restart/kernel panics with no thunderbolt connections whatsoever, doing simple things like browsing with Safari or recording audio with LumaFusion, etc. The M1 problem is much bigger than one device or connection. Apple has a real problem on its hands and, so far, has nothing but evasion (or silence) for its users. It’s been maybe fifteen years since I had a Mac that kernel panic/crashed even once. My new MacBook Pro has done it every day I’ve used it for more than about an hour it this last week. A troubling debut for M1 silicon/Big Sur for sure.

Welp, I’m packing up my 2nd M1 Mac for return to Apple. Note: the kernel panics have mostly stopped (except for when my Promise Pegasus thunderbolt raid array is plugged in). So why am I returning it? Because my new MacBook (ahem) “Pro” doesn’t connect to more than one external display. It’s 2021! My 2014 and 2018’MB “Pros” can drive multiple external 4k monitors. But my 2020 M1 MB (ahem) “Pro” cannot?? Sad! Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave at the mediocrity which has seeped into Apple. BL: It’s apparently too much to ask to have your “Pro” MacBook to not throw kernel panics or to connect to more than one external display.

Driving a 6K display is not mediocre.

It just does not happen to line up with the display approach you were using.

Steve would tell you insisting on two displays, while you could be using one as large as 6K is like a faster buggy-whip.

If, out of ALL the Applications you are running, only Football Manager does not work properly, Apple will NOT be spending Apple Engineering time to figure out why.

If you want that situation improved, apply pressure to the publishers of Football Manager, who are now unable to have happy Users running on the Apple-Silicon M1 MacBooks.

The entire crash report is posted at https://www.beachstreetnews.com/m1-mac-mini-daily-crashes/ for anyone interested to see if it matches theirs line for line.

LOL dude deleted my reply because I exposed his mediocrity!

I checked out your links blatny, and I'm fairly confident that FM20/21 is the culprit. I have not encountered this error using any other program on the MB. The fact that so many others have reported this issue pretty much confirms that this is a FM-related issue for me. My 16GB RAM M1 MacBook should actually run the game fine and is capable of much more, other demanding programs don't reset the computer, and there's no other explanation. Hope they fix this soon, love FM.

Kernel Panic is not ONE problem, it is one of thousands of problems.

You have not provided enough information to even understand what your issue is.

What Mac? what MacOS? what kernel panic report?
