M1 MacBook Pro crashes and restarts a few times a day

In case any Apple people are reading this, I wanted to be clear that my machine is crashing 2-3 times per day, almost always in com.apple.driver.AppleSEPManager. I have no external monitors or USB devices connected.

I have submitted ~20 crash reports.

Yep, I have the exact same problem. I have a 13" M1 Pro with 8Gb. I get crashes several times per day with no rhyme or reason. I've tried uninstalling several background apps. I've reinstalled the OS and had an Apple Store do a clean installation. The problem persists. I don't know if this is an M1 or a Big Sur issue, but it's a big Apple screwup for sure.

I'm sorry but a Mac without any 3rd party software is what mort people call **useless**. I'm not sure what your point is. While I expected some 3rd party software to crash with an M1, it's A TOTAL SCREWUP for an OS to allow constant hard crashes irrespective of the reason. I thought Mac build OS X on top of unix for exactly that reason: stability. Now I've got a poorly functioning Windows machine, basically. A hard crash brings everything down, not just one app. Bad look.

Same here. And Apple support are going painfully slowly through resets etc to diagnose it. I am sure at first they believed I was just plain wrong. After we booted into Safe Mode and it still occurred, they started to pay more attention.

No joy yet though.

Having precisely the same problem here, just in the last couple of days. After a honeymoon first couple of weeks with my new M1 MacBook Pro (during which everything worked seemlessly), now it crashes at least twice a day, without prior issue or warning. Doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing (editing on Lumafusion, scrolling though a Google Doc), suddenly there's the purple screen you mention and the MacBook is rebooting from scratch. VERY unhappy. Has something been updated/changed under the hood in recent days?

And no, I have no peripheral devices whatsoever connected, so it ain't that.

Oh, and I'm still on 11.0.1 rather than 11.1.0: was going to update tonight but, seeing as how some people on here say the problem only started or got worse recently, I think I'll hold off (with just my 2-crash-a-day-allocation for now)

I bought a Mac mini M1 is connected with 4K LG exclusive for mac. I have the same issue 3 or 4 times restart the OS without any apparent reason. Lose all that I typing in internet.

I would like to report quite strange behavior, although isn’t check the option of restart after power outage, the mac restart. And login screen have a wrong ‘date-time’ and the display never sleep or start the screen saver.

I don’t known if is a panic issue, it seams more an error of the new architecture M1 with the current software. Whatever is apple give me the choice to change the computer again.

The last one I bought the screen saver start without any reason and once the computer never start again, can’t charge the OS and do not show any image, after change cable USB-C to HDMI I can’t see the image intermittently, see one second and disappear 5 seconds ...

In summary ... my issues are regarding a conflicts with unwanted restarts, unwanted screen savers and wrong behavior on screen login again.

Please apple's team can you report us that this issues have a solution !!!!!

i have done a clean install and still the same problem. purple screen than restart (minimum 2 times per day ) while only on safari. with nothing connected on the usb .

here is the kernel panic if anyone knows whats happening or can read what is causing the problem

This means that their testing was not good enough when they shipped. And systems do ship with tons of bugs, many of them very difficult to fix.

By the way. The testing, to which I was referring to, was not about pre-shipment, per-machine testing (that’s rather minimal); but on known good hardware.

(Unfortunately, the M1 machines, along with many, if not most, of Apple’s machines, are assembled, at least, in China—the modern version of the old “made in Japan”. I cannot vouch for the Q&A, under such circumstances. That issue has been magnified by COVID-19, of course.)

after i tough it was over . no problem for two days . today it happened again .(mostly is when i wake up the macbook from sleep and try to continue browsing)

i updated to 11.2 it didn't help

i reset smc it didn't help

i reset Pram it didn't help

i reinstalled Big sur it didn't help

i used disk utility repair (i tought it did something ) it didn't help

i contacted support they want me to fully erase and restore.( i don't feel like doing it )

here is attached the latest kernel panic. i don't know how to sysdiagnose

So I thought Apple MacOS release 11.2 fixed the issues in my M1 MacBook Pro but it crashed in a weird way. It stopped accepting my password for my work account but accepted the password for my personal account. And then it crashed. On reboot it accepted my password.

It lasted 1 week without crashing.

I started sysdiagnose just in time but frankly speaking, I am tired of calling Apple Support yet again.

Well, 11.2 did not do it. I now have it crashing less frequently. 2nd time, in 2 days, walked up to the computer and it showed my login screen with my account name but no help text (use your password or fingerprint). Tried to provide my password, would not accept it. Used another account to login. It promptly crashed.

Crash log below.

Apple REQUIRES me to help them debug this problem before proceeding. Exhausted. I feel like I am helping Apple debug their slew of problems. Kernel crashes of all kinds, USB issues, video issues, sleep/wakeup issues, login issues, backup/restore, issues, etc.

Last night I tried to backup to an SSD and it got fried. Borrowed a 3.5" drive.

Does the community have any suggestions on how to proceed?

There is a program called Capture Data that Apples supplied me that I used to put together all the diagnostics information. The dmg it creates is fairly big and most of the times you don't know when the system crashed. Some day I will look into what it creates.

I used Capture Data multiple times and it has not helped me; I talk to an Apple Support engineer, I upload the data, they ask for more, etc. They want me to keep on helping them.

Still crashing a few times a day. I walk up to the screen and realized that the computer had rebooted. I have no generally idea WHEN it rebooted but I try to make a reasonable estimate.

2 months and 10 days have gone by since I received the first M1.

The M1 has crashed, on an average, 2-3 times a day. I

My M1 Air was reinstalled from scratch after formatting the SSD as it was crashing several times a day. I also cleared the SMC with a M1 approved sequence, but it crashed promptly within a few minutes of booting up. I hope you can help me diagnose what's broken?

I am getting CVMServer show up in console crash reports a few times a day if I let the computer alone. I also get this when I login:
