I have a late 2014 (latest version of Big Sur) I'm using as a second computer. It has a nearly fresh OS install with only a few apps installed a a few homebrew packages installed.

As the title states, the computer crashes very frequently when not in safe mode. Not sure how to further isolate the problem. Any guidance appreciated.

I ran systemextensionsctl list and it showed 0 extensions installed.

Also did a pram reset but that didn't help.

Thanks.

  • Please add links to a few of your crash reports. – pion Mar 10 '22 at 09:51
  • Unfortunately, I did not save the kernel panic message that pops up after the machine reboots. But it is definitely the WindowServer component causing the problem. It's timing out, according to the message. This indicates some kind of problem with the graphics. I've since discovered the machine does not crash when running at the default screen resolution. All the crashes have happened at the highest screen resolution. I'm not sure if this indicates a hardware or software problem. Maybe high resolution is causing gpu to heat up? – StevieD Mar 10 '22 at 14:50

Apple suggests the following -

If updating your software doesn't help, try any of these solutions:

  • Test your login items.
  • To find out whether software in your user account is causing the issue, set up a new user account, then log in to it and try to reproduce the issue in that account.
  • Unplug all accessories from your Mac, including printers, drives, USB hubs and other non-essential devices. There could be an issue with one or more of those devices or their cables.
  • Reinstall macOS.
