Persistent Kernel Panics and Automatic Reboots on M5 Pro MacBook Pro
A brand-new MacBook Pro (M5 Pro, 24GB RAM) is experiencing frequent, severe kernel panics. The system freezes completely for a few seconds before executing an automatic reboot or shutdown. This behavior occurs roughly 10+ times per day, significantly disrupting production work. The issue initially triggered immediately after migrating data from a base M4 MacBook Pro via Migration Assistant. Steps Taken & Troubleshooting Hardware Diagnostics: Ran Apple Diagnostics locally; all hardware checks passed with no errors detected. OS Updates: Installed the minor macOS patch intended to resolve M5 automatic reboot bugs. The issue persisted. System Erase: Performed a complete factory reset ("Erase All Content and Settings") and a clean OS reinstallation as advised by Apple Support. Beta Testing: Upgraded to the macOS Tahoe Beta following guidance from a DST Engineer who indicated the issue was addressed in this build. The frequent crashes continue to occur on the beta track. Case / Feedback Reference Feedback ID: FB23273513 (Captured after the system format)
