Macbook Pro keeps shutting down whenever I use FL Studio

I have a 13 inch 2020 Macbook Pro, Running macOS Tahoe 26.0 with a 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB, and 16GB of memory.

Whenever I use the latest version of FL studio my macbook restarts after up to a 2 minutes of use.

I've tried updating all my plugins, using safemode and running diagnostics.

After using etrecheck, i found that no major problem was found.

I'm wondering if it's a case of overheating, or cleaning the fan, but other apps like Logic Pro X don't seem to have the same effect.

I would not jump to thinking fans need cleaning...

for your third party app—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…

Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

You have 60 crashes of the Adobe Creative Cloud helper. I think the Adobe software may be the source of your problems. I have seen some other posts on this forum which mention the Adobe software is causing problems when using Tahoe.

FYI, before upgrading to a new OS, you should always make sure all of your third party software is actually 100% fully compatible with the new OS before upgrading to a new major version of the OS. Many third party developers may not have their apps ready for the new OS until weeks, months, or even a year later. Most people have no need to immediately upgrade to a new major version of macOS.....it is always best to wait a bit for the first minor OS update patch even if all your apps are compatible. You also want to make sure any changes in the OS won't affect your workflow...even if the third party apps are fully compatible.
