"Pink Screen of Death"

Similar to Windows' "Blue Screen of Death", occasionally, my computer goes through the PSoD which usually happens after my computer boots up after dying. It happened about 3 minutes before I began writing this. My computer died so I plug it in and it automatically starts to boot up. It opens the applications that usually open at the start, then after almost 2 minutes the bottom right quarter of my screen is just, glitchy, pink, and white spots. It then stays like that for a few seconds then flashes a full screen of pink and then shuts down. After that, it boots up automatically and acts like nothing ever happened.


This is the script or code that comes with the "Your computer restarted because of a problem." message.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3

Hi jaydan66,


It sounds like your MacBook Air may be experiencing a software or hardware problem when it tries to restart. To clarify, does the MacBook Air have an external device like a display or external hard drive connected when this happens? If not, one of the applications may be experiencing a problem when the Mac unexpectedly loses power and shuts down. Since it then restarts on its own, the steps in the article below may help.
