Watchdog Violation on a MacBook Pro

Hello, To All:

Would anyone know how to fix a Watchdog Violation error on a MacBook Pro with IOS Big SUR. I have four monitors tethered to the Mac from a Targus USB-C Universal Quad. I wasn't having an issue for months; now, it appears to be causing havoc on my system.

Thank you,

MacBook randomly crashes Hi All, I have recently moved from Windows to Mac and still learning. I have an issue with random crashes. I've got a MacBook Pro 15 inch (Mid-2012 i believe) which came with a new HDD and fresh install of High Sierra. I am using it with an external monitor and a DisplayLink too (so i use two monitors) when at home. I've lifted the below logs from when a crash has happened. As well as the below there does seem to be a recurring log about com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] with a log that says the "service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds" but this seems to be ongoing so am not sure if this is causing the crash or not. 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:25 timed[78]: settimeofday({0x5ddbcd99,0x78c48}) == 0 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:27 systemstats[51]: assertion failed: 17G9016: systemstats + 684622 [D1E75C38-62CE-3D77-9ED3-5F6D38EF0676]: 0x7faa77a0a8f0 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:27 systemstats[51]: assertion failed: 17G9016: systemstats + 914800 [D1E75C38-62CE-3D77-9ED3-5F6D38EF0676]: 0x40 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:29 xpcproxy[80868]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper_userdir: 529: bootstrap_look_up returned (ipc/send) invalid destination port 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:29 netbiosd[80868]: DEPRECATED USE in libdispatch client: Setting timer interval to 0 requests a 1ns timer, did you mean FOREVER (a one-shot timer)? 25 Nov 2019 at 12:48:31 kcm[80871]: DEPRECATED USE in libdispatch client: Setting timer interval to 0 requests a 1ns timer, did you mean FOREVER (a one-shot timer)?
