"M1 MacPro kept crashing and restarting"
-------
Troubleshooting a Crashing and Rebooting Mac:
A. Create New User:
For temporary use, create a new Administrator. See what happens when you log in to it. Do you still get this issue? If not, then is it an issue in the current user. If so, then its an issue with the entire Mac.
B. Boot in Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
C. Re-Mount the Drive:
Boot into Recovery Mode (Intel or Silicon) . You need to click the “Mount’ button to proceed. So, select the drives, and then click "Mount" Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more. It looks dulled-out. So, if you cannot click it, then click the First Aid button to fix this volume.
D. Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed in upcoming updates. Apple will know nothing of this, if you don't report it to them.
