Macbook Air M1 - kernel panic

So I had the same issue purple screen the same crash log etc. I was able to recreate it a few times by launching FM putting the device in to sleep mode waking it back up connecting a new device and after a few minutes it does the same thing I'm not sure if its helpful but its something.

I'm getting a similar error, but no FP or videos games, only Word, Safari, Acrobat reader, Apple Music, a BenQ screen and headphones. Any ideas why? I also have a Macbook air M1...

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xfffffe0016db84c4): "dart-disp0 (0xfffffe2336958000): SMMU(SMMU) error: SID 0 PTE invalid exception on read with DVA 0x3680000 (TTBR 0 SEG 0x1 PTE 0x5a0) ERROR_STATUS 0x80000004 TIME 0x3292fa4472e3 TTE 0 AXI_ID 0)"

Debugger message: panic

Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you!

I have almost the exact same report, and same reported symptoms on a MacBook Pro M1 8gb RAM laptop. Second time it has happened. Wasn't playing a game of any sort, and don't have any installed on the laptop. Was watching a YouTube video in Safari (only browser on the laptop). Screen goes black with a couple of short pink stripe flashes, then restarts. Running Big Sur 11.2.3 (latest update version).

Any further information about this?

I keep on having the same problem. I tried apple live help but they just suggested to install 11.2.3 – obviously it didn't help. Waiting for the lockdown to be lifted to go to a mac store. Sorry for not having further details. For the record I have a MacBook Pro M1 16 gb RAM – thus I guess that the RAM size is irrelevant

Sorry for not being more helpful

Fotenisp,

thank you very much for your reply. Last night I formatted the machine and installed 11.2.3 clean. since I bought the machine there is been at least one, and perhaps two OS updates. I don’t recall for sure. On the off chance an install didn’t go quite right, I decided to take that step. also, I’ve been running a couple of apps that required Rosetta. Those are not essential for me, so I have left them off this machine for the time being, to see if there’s a problem without Rosetta installed. I haven’t read anything about that causing any trouble, but who knows.

We’ll see what happens. I will post back about it. So far no issue. I should’ve mentioned, I am running it to an LG monitor via a USB/power cable. It had the same issue previously when hooked up to an 0WC 14 port dock. It may be related to conflict between docks and something else. The store here in San Luis Obispo is open, I think. So if this does not work, I will take it there.

Bought a new mac Mini M1 about a month ago. Started having these kernel panic crashes with pink/purple screens right before a week ago. Twice now. Definitely related to the (external) display(s). Have 2 hooked up, one via HDMI and one via USB-C to DisplayPort. Happens when switching Spaces or turning a monitor on/off.

On a related note, macOS doesn't remember the refresh rate Hertz when booting or waking up. It shows the correct refresh rate selected, but it's not the one that's active. E.g. set to 144Hz, only running at 60Hz.

I'm not playing any games, just one 1080P USBC monitor connected, with just Apple M1 native app's open, i.e Mail (with only a few open) Pages (with 1 document) and lots of Safari windows with loads of tabs (have closed some already)! I'm getting pink screens KP/restarts quite regularly (incl when applying for jobs..). No many peripherals, just Apple Apple keyboard and Trackpad and an SSD. Only 8GB Ram installed with 7GB used, which I thinks the real issue here.

I've updated the Office suite last week and since then –touch wood– the system seems to have been stabilised. It hasn't crashed for six days now, which is remarkable! I'll post an update if it crashes again.

Hi all, lowering memory usage (from around 7GB closer to 6GB, of 8GB total) by closing safari tabs and some (e.g memory) resource hogging app's , e.g Spotify, resolves this issue for me. Apple needs a more elegant way of doing this, e.g low memory warning, unless this is actually a bug in macOS or M1 hardware.

BTW, I can now use an extra monitor memory again without KP's. Although not using an external monitor requires less Vram used (from main Ram) which may resolve the issue instead (but didn't for me, without closing app's).

Hey AlisterN,

Did your macbook ever crash when it was not connected to any external device? Also, when it does crash when you are connected to an external display, were you using 2 screens or were you in clamshell/closed lid mode?

I wouldn't expect Chrome to directly cause a KP as MacOS sandboxes all software running on it. However, Chrome may be using too much Ram (e.g if only 8GB is installed) if M1 SOC isn't very good at managing larger amounts of memory usage (as it seems).

While other software (e.g Chrome) could be running under Fast User Switching, which would also use more Ram, although again in itself, this macOS feature shouldn't cause System (KP) Crashes.

After a fairly long time without a crash, mine did it again. As before, attached to an external monitor (LG). Screen is mirrored, but not in clamshell mode because I want to use the fingerprint reader to unlock. Sent a crash report but didn't get it saved for myself.

I'll be very interesting in the impact/fix that 11.3 may provide. Updated today.

I have the same issue.

Have updated to 11.3 and the problem seems to be occurring randomly, not when using specific apps or games.

Connected to external screen via Apple hub, as well as magic keyboard and mouse.

Here is the crash log:

Same issue here on a Macbook pro M1. I had this issue for the last 6 months and got my computer replaced by a new one (not refurbished) and the issue persists.

I only run Google Chrome and Office 365 on my computer and an LG monitor on Apple HDMI/USB-C adapter. I doubt this is an RAM related issue as it happened with only a few apps idling in the background.

I'm seriously considering returning my computer and going back to my old Macbook pro.

I figured out a solution for this issue.

DO NOT CONNECT TO YOUR LG MONITOR USING THUNDERBOLT 3. Instead, use HDMI.

Since I started connecting with HDMI, I've never had this issue. It's been a month now.
