Sequoia 15.5 crashing “due to a problem” when the screen sleeps too long

The last loaded driver was the "AppleGameControllerPersonality" which implies some type of external input device. Perhaps disconnect this device after you are finished to see if that makes a difference. If you are playing a game, then fully quit the game since games don't like to be put to sleep & wake again.

And the panic itself is referencing some connected interface device:

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffe001d63fb64): Driver IOUserServer(com.apple.driverkit.AppleUserHIDDrivers-0x1000010ea) has crashed too many times

If you still have issues, then run the third party app EtreCheck and post the complete report here so we can examine it for possible clues.

In the Kernel Panic summary from the EtreCheck report:

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffe002daabae0): PAC failure from kernel with D

A key while authing x16

PAC refers to Pointer Authentication Codes -- security feature

When Kernel Panics are different, it usually indicates a hardware issue.

The following apps shown in the EtreCheck report could possibly be causing Kernel Panics since they use Kernel Extensions, LaunchDaemons, and LaunchAgents:

• ExpressVPN
• Citrix
• Zoom

I would uninstall ExpressVPN since it uses a Kernel Extension which is more likely to cause problems & Kernel Panics, plus most people don't need to use VPNs.

FYI, VPNs don't provide the privacy or security you think they do unless you are using the VPN to access resources on a business network or to access resources on your home network (assuming you have a VPN server on your home network). Usually in those situations you will be using other VPN apps than ExpressVPN. Here is an article that explains some of the issues with VPNs:

You can try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected. Unfortunately the diagnostics will rarely detect issues even when confirmed through other methods. If the diagnostics do report an issue, then you have a hardware issue.

1) Go to Apple > System Settings > Energy

Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off" and only allow the display to Turn off.

2) Go to Apple > System Settings > Lock Screen

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

Test that setup for a day or two.

You're welcome.

Good eye HWTech.🤞

I am having the same issue, along with performance issues since updating to 15.5.
