My 12/16/24 Mini M4 Pro running Sequoia 15.1 (24B2083) started crashing while opening No Man's Sky on Steam, as in completely reboots the mini. I've seen a few other reports about crashes, but all related to video exporting. Anyone else getting crashes?

Mine has been crashing as well running different software. I'm seeing reports starting to pop up of other instances of the m4's crashing for a variety of reasons. At this point I'd have to say its an OS issue.

I saw a reply somewhere that Apple support made them reinstall MacOS but the problem remained. Hope this is a software fix and not faulty memory or some crap.

I cancelled my order because of this. I ordered a M4 Pro Mini instead of waiting for the M4 Mac Studio, but after seeing reports at Reddit and Youtube I cancelled it until it’s figured out. In fact, this may help me wait for the M4 Mac Studio, which offers more value for my use

Reddit,apple forums, game forums, Codeweavers, lots of posts of startup crashes and reboots at this time.

Metal Fx is being looked at as well. The macOS game mode is suspect as well.

Mac Mini M4 Pro (12/16c/24/512): several crashes with restart „SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)“. It occurs when changing MetalFX settings in Death Stranding. No solution yet…

Mac Mini M4 (24/512): no issues so far

Since update to macOS 15.1.1 I can't reproduce the crashes on the Mac Mini M4 Pro. Not sure if macOS fixed it or coincidence, but at least it works now.
