Macbook Air M2 keeps Crashing
This has been going on for a month. I have been an advanced computer user for 30 years and I have never seen anything like this. I'm not at my wit’s end, but I'm getting there!
It appears to crash when I''m doing something video related, for example: Skype or YouTube.
I always send a report to apple in the hope that a patch will address this. My computer must be famous in Cupertino now, LOL!
A Tier one tech suggested I create a test account with 0 apps loading. We did that, but no joy.
I had an idea that doing a clean reinstallation of OSX Monterey might do the trick. A very patient Tier 2 Apple engineer and yours truly did the reinstallation, but It's still being obstinate.
I have tried safe mode and testing 5 different browsers, but even ancient, stable, Safari crashes!
I did the hardware diagnostics and nothing is amiss, so returning the computer to Shanghai will not
help at this point.
My untrained, very amateurish hypothesis is that I forgot that whether it's a car or a computer, you should never be the first to order the shiny new, latest greatest product. There is a reason why it's called being on the bleeding edge. Software developers have not optimized their apps yet for the new m2 chip, and Apple has to be given some time to analyze the various crash reports and make the necessary changes to Monterrey.
However, there is a wise saying which goes like this: The last thing to die is Hope! I am hoping that someone out there with an M2 has had the same problem and can share how they fixed it.
If you can help me, My wife will personally thank you, as she can't Skype with her sister in Europe without rebooting several times.
God Bless You!
