Kernel Panics on Mac mini M1

Hey folks,

I keep on getting frequent kernel panics after wake up on a Mac mini M1. All software components are up to date. Only peripheral is an external monitor connected with an Apple HDMI-DVI adapter. CORE 1 is the one that panicked. First Kernel Extension in backtrace is com.apple.iokit.IOMobileGraphicsFamily-DCP(343.0)

Question: Is the panic related to the graphics drivers because of the external display? Please advice.

Thanks!

Matt

PS

Here is the complete dump:

Thank you for your feedback, Matt.

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

If you want to attract more expert help:

You might need to include finer details:

eg:

- model (year) of Mac mini M! :you have
- actual Mac OS version that is installed
- details of the external monitor
- Kernel Panic logs ( "/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports" ( eg: file name that begin with "kernel" and end with ".panic")
- May want to try a safeBoot and test and see if the issue persists

- SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Hi Matt,,

Welcome to the Apple Community

Sorry I"m no expert on this.

Seems that sometimes third party (non Apple) apps, (or bits of them left behind when app is deleted), can cause issues.

Apple has a support page about kernel panic that might help you:

If your Mac restarts and a message appears – Apple Support

All the best :-)

Thank you for your reply. I agree with your comment regarding third party apps. This does not seem to be the issue (see my questions regarding the included kernel dump) - but maybe I am wrong. The Apple link supplied is does not answer my question.

I would love to get more replies. Thanks again.
