M1 Macbook Pro freezes, flashes pink screen, reboots

I have a MacBook M1 and it frequently freezes, then flashes a pink screen and reboots.


This was listed in other forum posts with many experiencing the issue and no resolution. It seems to be an identical issue across operating system versions and I'm sure, different hardware configurations. Is there a consensus as to what the problem is and how to resolve it?

Try a safeboot trouble shooting—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.



Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS
