Macbook Air M1 - kernel panic

With a slightly higher CPU load (during the game), there are repeated restarts, pink stripes appear on the black screen. I cannot interpret the reports (they are identical, see example below). The problem does not occur with the same load on Macbook Air 2015 (Football Manager 2020 game running via Epic Launcher and Chrome). Big Sur 11.1.



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

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).

Adding my MBP to the list. Random crashes whether using an external display or not, with probably quite high RAM usage (used for design work).

But sometimes it crashes just with safari open and nothing else. It can be entering info in a form or switching tabs and then it just freezes > purple screen > restart.


It’s now happening about twice a day making working on it very frustrating.

My Macbook Air 16 GB M1 2020, with the 11.5.1 MacOS Big Sur, bought August 1st 2021.

Me too my Screen's turning black and pink dots and lines and reboot. I'd already have Kernel Panic like 7 times.

I'm using at the same time the game Raid from Plarium Play, with Friendly Streaming, Mail, a lot of Firefox tabs and iMessages.

For now, I'm getting used to it but all the reply about changing hardware or remplace the MacBook, I don't know what to do...

What could I do ?

I have the same issue too. I was googling on safari only. No game or any. The screen shut down with pink stripes immediately. MacBook Air M1.

OMG. same problem happening again...

The problem was resolved since 11.5 (I was enjoying the computer for about 45 days...)

Unfortunately my computed just restarted tonight after a freeze along with a pink screen and I'm having the usual error message attached.

Important point : the MacBook M1 air was not connected to any external device and I was using it on the battery (no monitor connected, no hub, nothing).

I am currently on OS 11.6.

Has anyone experienced the same problem recently since the last updates ?
