Computer Sleep Mode is causing an assortment of problems including KP's and Restarts.


As a test:


Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off"



Set "Turn display off when inactive" to 5 or 10 minutes



Leave the Mac Studio awake and only allow the display(s) to turn Off

Do not manually select Sleep from the Apple Drop Down menu

Shut Down the Mac Studio when away for a day or more
