MacBook Pro has "Global Reset" error on every reboot

My MacBook Pro has a "Global Reset" error on every reboot since a few days. The exact error message in the error report:


Global Reset

GRC0 = 0x00000400

GRC1 = 0x00010001


I recovered macOS and did all updates, but the error is still present. I cannot find anything about the error codes above. What is the problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

I believe I have the same problem. Started after I upgraded to Big Sur.

Every time I restart, it hangs during the restart (with a multi-language error message written in grey on black background) and then restarts again. When the computer is finally started I get the exact same "Global Reset" error message as you.


If I turn off the computer, it seems like it doesn't fully shut down, because every time I start it again, it won't respond, so I have to hold down the power button for ten seconds after which it is fully turned off. After that, I can start the computer again.


These problems happen every time.


I have narrowed down the problem a bit - it seems like this happens only when I have two displays attached to my Thunderbolt 3 Dock (which I always have). I can have each Display connected individually without any problems, but as soon as both are connected I get the "Global Reset".


I have tried everything that I can think of without any luck, including

  • Disconnecting all other peripherals
  • Going through all possible settings on the displays, such as DisplayPort 1.2 On/Off etc.
  • Using different cables for the Displays
  • Switching to different ports on the Displays
  • Testing all four Thunderbolt 3 ports on my MacBook Pro
  • Using a different Thunderbolt 3 Cable
  • Doing a complete fresh reinstall of macOS Big Sur
  • I even bought a new Thunderbolt 3 Dock (switched from Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD to CalDigit TS3 Plus), which now appears to be a complete waste of money as the problem remains.


The only options I still haven't tried is to buy a new computer or buy 1-2 new displays, but for obvious reasons I would like to avoid that.


This seems to be a serious bug in Big Sur as everything has worked perfectly well before I upgraded.


My hardware:

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018 - 2.7GHz Quad-Core i7, 16GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus 655 GPU)
  • Display 1: Dell UltraSharp U2515H
  • Display 2: Dell UltraSharp U2520D
  • CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock (also tried with Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD)
