I bought my Macbook 2 days ago. I was heavy using it, browsing many tabs, programming while I was streaming on Discord of my External Monitor. And my computer suddenly crashed and took a restart. When it opened it showed me this Kernel Panic log. Is it a big issue? Is this normal?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6
A DART is a hardware assisted memory management unit. yours is the CPU DART for the CPU to access main memory. there is also an separate I/O DART.
ANY complaint about that suggests you may have a RAM memory problem.
You should run the User diagnostic soon. The return code "no faults detected" does NOT mean "all is well". In the tiny amount of time allotted, it can find only GROSS errors.
if you bought DIRECT from Apple, not through a Reseller of any kind, you have 14 day full value refund or exchange. You should plan on taking advantage of that option if available to you. It is far less stressful than warranty repair.
it is conceivable that if you have side-loaded stuff that is VERY invasive, it might be contributing to this issue. If you contact Apple support for assistance they will want is to see the problem occur in an un-modified MacOS.
First responders are not trained to read panic reports, so you will likely have to ask for a specialist to contact you. They can read what is already posted here if you give them a hint about your avatar or the discussion Title. They NEVER take our conclusions at face value.
Genius Bar technicians are NOT trained to read panic reports, so I do not recommend a visit there unless/until it fails a diagnostic or you can replicate the problem on demand.

Then skip the Genius Bar, and run the user diagnostic before you move on.
DO NOT erase your Mac until apple support has read that panic report or you have a good record of it.
Memory problems are very elusive. MacOS slightly randomizes the load point of key routines as hedge against fixed-address attacks. After every Restart, the bad memory cell moves to a different address in the memory map, and causes different havoc. When you have kernel panics "all over the map" that indicates a non-trend that suggest RAM issues.
I couldn't replicate the problem again even after heavy using my Mac. Strange. It only happened one time.
