MacBook Pro M1 stopped working all of a sudden

Dear All,

Good Day and thanks for taking time to read this post.


I was using my Macbook Pro M1 (running Sonoma 14.3) and doing video editing via Adobe premier pro. This isn't the first time I am doing this and have been editing many videos and had it peak to its top performance.


All of a sudden, the display and touch bar went black and there was no response. The fan was running at its peak speed. I tried force shutting down the mac and the fan stopped running after this. However if I turned it on, the fan started running and there was no response from the macbook, no display turning on, no sound, nothing literally. I tried it many number of times but no progress.


After sometime even the fan stopped running and the mac was looking absolutely dead :(

I left it as it is and after around 10-15 mins, it started turning on automatically. Then after it started working properly and when I ran the diagnostic, it did not throw up any errors.


Please suggest if this could be due to any software issue or CPU/GPU performance issue or could it be any hardware damage that would have caused this temporary death.

Your expertise and advise will be of great great help to me.


Thank You All.

It's really quite impossible for any of us on this site to know.


The Mac may have shut down due to an overheat condition, and started working again after it cooled down. Give your Mac every opportunity to keep itself cool. That means do not use any cases or "skins" and definitely never cover the keyboard with anything other than your fingertips.
