MacBook Pro 16" 2019 GPU Panic on Sleep – Workaround by Forcing AMD GPU
I’ve been experiencing repeated GPU panics on my 2019 MacBook Pro 16" (i9 / AMD 5500M) when the machine sleeps or locks the screen.
I want to credit @ChrisShields88 on Apple Discussions for a workaround that has stabilised my system so far:
sudo pmset -a gpuswitch 1
This forces the AMD GPU and disables automatic switching, which appears to prevent the crash during sleep/wake.
Posting here in case it helps others, as the original thread appears to be locked.
