Macbook Pro M1 11.1 Pink Screen Crash Restart

M1 Macbook Pro purchased late Dec 2020 running Big Sur 11.1 seeing repeated crashing and restarting. A pink screen flashes up for a second prior to a hard restart.


Macbook is not running particularly hot and app usage at time of crash varies. The crash occurs approximately 1-2 times a day with moderate use.


A possible cause is that there is a "Satechi USB-C Pro Hub with 4K HDMI & Thunderbolt 3" plugged in, with a Thunderbolt power cable and a 1080p monitor connected by HDMI.


The pink screen crash is being reported by a number of users here and on Reddit however Apple Support seemed unaware of the issue as of yesterday 28/01/21 and after an hour of chat support the only advice I received was to uninstall all 'non Gatekeeper' apps (unacceptable).


I have submitted crash logs and run diagnostics, would appreciate a definitive analysis from Apple as this is clearly affecting a number of users who have bought into their new M1/Big Sur platform.

Exactly the same issue, "dart-disp0". My M1 is connected to a Dell 27 inch monitor via usb-c with no dongle between. Kernel panics 1-3 times per day.


Small hint: Often happens when I hit backspace key for some reason. Could be coincidental ...

Hi josephASC. I am having the exact same issue with my MacBook Air M1. It's only been a couple of days since I bought it and it seems like it crashes with the pink screen once every few hours. The crash log is also pretty much the same as yours. I am using a USB-C adapter of a local brand with only a USB keyboard + mouse and a HDMI TV connected to it. Did you manage to figure out what was causing your issue?
