watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 92 seconds

Hi there iamdaveyc,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. If having issues with your MacBook Air restarting unexpectedly, give the steps listed below from the following resource a try that can help: If your Mac restarted because of a problem - Apple Support

About unexpected restarts

Rarely, your Mac might experience a software or hardware issue that requires it to restart. When it starts up again, you might see a message that your computer was restarted because of a problem.

Unexpected restarts are usually caused by software installed on your Mac, or by devices connected to your Mac. If the issue causes your Mac to restart every time it attempts to start up, your Mac might eventually shut down. Use the steps below to check the software and hardware on your Mac.

Check your software

If the issue is caused by software on your Mac, one of these steps might help:

- Install all available software updates.

- If your Mac suspects that a particular app caused the restart, it might ask whether you would like to move the app to the Trash. Click Move to Trash, then contact the software developer to see if a software update is available.

- Use safe mode to try to isolate the cause of the issue.

- Reinstall macOS. If the issue continues after reinstalling macOS, check your hardware.

If the issue persists after going through the steps above, be sure to check out the additional sections in the resource that can go over how to check your hardware. Also, the steps in this next resource may be able to help with isolating and troubleshooting the issue further: If your Mac restarts and a message appears - Apple Support

Let us know if that's able to help.

Take care!
