Around 2-3 times a day, my M1 MacBook Pro on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1crashes and restarts.
This will happen when I'm doing anything from browsing the internet to using xcode.
The screen looks like it glitches out to purple and then it just restarts automatically
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
Maybe some success.... I had a call with Apple Tech Support. Amazingly patient. Here is my configuration that crashes:
1 USB-C port is connected to an Anker 8-in-1 usbc hub which has HDMI, 2xusbc 2xusba, sd-card, ethernet.
1 usb-c port connected to a Dell monitor via a usbc to display port cable. More on why the separate connection to external display.
His conjecture was that somehow the video processor in the hub was confusing the M1 coming out of sleep.
So I used a basic usbc hub with no video out (just usbc power in, usbc to M1, 3xusba, SD-card). I used the other usbc port on the M1 to drive the external monitor.
I have had no crashes over the last few days.
However, when I connected the HDMI out of the Anker hub to my monitor, it promptly crashed.
Suggestions:
(a) Try to use hubs that don't have video out.
(b) Use the M1's own usbc to drive external monitors.
I do realize that not all of you will have the configuration or the same crashes that I do. Apple is looking through my crash logs to determine the cause; no hub should crash an OS.
i will try next time sysdiagnose . thank yyou for the instructions
I have the same problem too, MacBook Air M1, OS-X Big Sur 11.2.
Only devices connected is bluetooth Apple AirPods.
Crash Log attached.

Thanks. Will look into that.
The point is that changing the dp version helps a lot of people.

Oh. I fully know that.
My point is that the ports are not what many seem to think they are.
OK, sorry, I guess I was at the wrong place. Here is a crash report right after the reboot (with a pink screen before the reboot), which I have submitted to Apple as well:
Any clues?
Cheers, Chris
I'd like to try it, because I'm at wit's end here. How can change the DisplayPort version on, say, an LG Ultrafine 5K?
Same happened to my new M1 MacBook Pro for the 3rd time in like 2 months now.
Very short purple flash on the screen then reboot.
Please fix!
Welcome, Ross_impress, to Apple Support Communities!
Do you have any “cleaner”, “optimizer”, “anti-virus”, etc. software installed on your system, even “migrated” from a previous Mac?
The only drivers and software I see are Apple written. Maybe I am missing something?
My troubles didn't really begin until I upgraded to 11.2.3. Prior to that, I didn't have any issues with peripheral devices.
Yes, I have checked it. VS Code has released a Apple Silicon version. It isn't a compatibility issue as far as I know
Thanks for the reply. I am using an external keyboard - it's a Mac keyboard going through an OWC hub, and then a d-link usb hub. A bit of a daisy chain.
I doubt it's bluetooth related. I have NOTHING connected to my MacBook and it's happened twice in two weeks.
Reading the stack trace and seeing this:
com.apple.iokit.IOBluetoothSerialManager 8.0.1f5
made me believe it was bluetooth related and I realized that this problem started around the same time I got my new Alexa Echo. So I stopped connecting my Mac to it and I haven't crashed since. Maybe too many devices connected at once, or maybe its the Alexa's fault.
M1 MacBook Pro crashes and restarts a few times a day
