Crashing & Rebooting when Logging Out

slashedbeauty wrote:

Since the Ventura update, everything technically *runs* fine but if I log out, or if my computer sleeps after a long time leaving unattended, it crashes. Upon log out it immediately crashes and the sleep thing I'll just catch because I'll come back to my computer logged out with "Your computer restarted because of a problem" prompts. Is this a known issue for iMac? It's not crashing otherwise, apps are doing fine, etc which sounds a bit different than other crashing reports here on the forum.

Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults or faulty third-party kernel extensions.

Hey Leroy, you still there?

I'm still experiencing Kernel Panics. I even replaced my memory because I realized I had upgraded around the same time this happened. I also updated to the most recent Ventura but it's still happening. Here's specifically the Kernel Panic section of my most recent report.

<Kernel Panics.log>

<Runtime: 8:24 Performance: Below Average>

< Kernel panics - This system has experienced kernel panics. This could be a sign of hardware failure.>

< panic cpu type 14=page fault>

You would expect run time to be 3 minutes or less. I might suspect your HD is working in a state of failure.

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS,  is an invitation for disaster and comprise the Operating System

Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale. What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase

Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 

1 - Disk Cleaner 

This will include CleanMyMac ,  aka " BrickMyMac " to coin a phrase from a Senior Contributor

Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.

Part 2 of 2

Specific to CMM aka CleanMyMac aka BrickMyMac

The steps in #1 below is predicated on the Offending  Application has been Removed as per the Developers Specific Instruction 

# 1 Some Contributors suggest restarting in Recovery Mode and choosing to Reinstall the Operating System over  the existing installation. 

This may or may not replace elements of the Entire Operating System including the Home Folder ( User Account )  and replace any corrupted or removed elements of the Operating System and make thing right.

#2 - Then there are Other Contributors ( like myself ) would suggest  from this link Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.

For Intel computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS

Thereafter to start from scratch and install all Required Application directly from the Apple Apps Store or Directly from the Developer.

If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back as this will probably Re-Introduce the existing  issue that existed when the TM Backup was made 

Suggest Only Migrating the User Account and nothing more.

User Account is equal to Home Folder

IMHO - it would be best to only install new application etc Directly from the Developer or the Apple Apps Store.

You can still move Personal Files over at a later time
