Big sur 11.3.1 / Crashes randomly, causing a full reboot / Macbook pro early 2015

Hello, I keep getting random crashes, where the computer shuts down and restarts. I have sent many crash reports since this WE. Tried PRAM & SMC resets, but haven't been successful so far....

Has anyone faced that issue ?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Does the same thing happen when running in Safe Mode ? This method is used to isolate / eliminate Thread Party software / extensions from loading thusly identifying if your issue is macOs itself or 3rd party issues. The Safe Mode will do a Repairs Disk, clear system cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and Fonts. - load slowly - normal. Once logged in - ru this mode for 15 - 20 minutes and test.


To Exit Safe Mode - restart computer normally.

Hi, I am dealing with this issue as well. Right after the most recent software update, my laptop (MBP 15" 2018) began to restart itself after idle. I have already done a full erase and a clean install but it still continues to have these kernel panics.


I don't use any peripherals (outside of a Wacom tablet) and all of my chargers are intact.


My biggest fear, which has happened already, is that this will cause any unsaved work to be lost. Also, this is effecting my workflow tremendously since I have to wait for the restart and then all my apps to relaunch.


Help pls.

Hi,


Unfortunately, the mac is still crashing randomly after a few days.... This is what I get in the report :

I ´m not sure what causes those crashes. I find it quite reassurîng that I am not alone…makes me think that it is a software issue rather tha a hardware one. I have noticed that Big sur is rather unstable. I ´ve experienced diffrent issues since i switched from mojave ( wifi losing connection, AirPlay disconecting) which i did not have previously… will wait for next update, hoping it fixes those kernel panics….
