Hi hcsitas!

Understood - it's a Sleep-triggered crash so disabling Sleep should fix it. The Display Off timer is for saving energy while the Mac is on but unused, otherwise unrelated.
Hi and thanks so much your your reply. I'll try it and I have my fingers crossed.
In this case my iMac doesn't just switch off the display - it is a full shut down and requires a restart.
Use the settings below exactly as shown (timer per your choice), might fix. Also, do not manual Sleep. Instead, shut for long absences and let the display switch off on timer for normal use.
Great! Thanks for updating 🕺🍻
My beloved late 2013, 27" iMac - shuts itself down when not in use/I walk away
