Kernel Panic about every 3 days on M2 Pro MM

[Juicy Box]

Please help with a kernel panic issue I am having on my M2 Pro MM. TIA

I recently purchased a new monitor for my main Mac, since then about every three days, I go to use my Mac only to see that it has crash and restarted.

Before wiping my Mac or wasting a trip to the Apple Store, I was hoping someone could assist me with this issue.


When I usually troubleshoot these things, I like to see what has changed since the problems started, and in this case, the only change was getting a new monitor. The new monitor is a Samsung Neo G7, which has a much higher resolution than my old monitor, so maybe this could be causing issues. Not sure if it is the added stress causing issues on faulty HW, or maybe some incompatibility issues, or maybe nothing to do with the new monitor, and it is just a coincidence that it started happening a few days after the new monitor.

Here are some things I have noticed about the kernel panic, or other information that might be useful:

kernel panic happens about every 3ish days.

I am running macOS Sonoma, and have recently updated to the lastest version after the kernel panics started.

The kernel panic always happens while I am not using the Mac. I have the Mac set to never sleep, but it appears to happen while the monitor is sleeping.

Every time until today, the kernel panic happened after at least 10 hours of me not using the Mac, but today, it happened after only a few hours on non-usage.

About a week ago, I booted in safe mode, and the kernel panic happened again after a few days.

I updated the firmware on the Neo G7, but this didn't fix the issue.



I saved the last few reports in Pages to keep and reference if needed, here is the latest:

The kernel panic always happens while I am not using the Mac. I have the Mac set to never sleep, but it appears to happen while the monitor is sleeping.

Every time until today, the kernel panic happened after at least 10 hours of me not using the Mac, but today, it happened after only a few hours on non-usage.

You leave your Mac running even if you are not using it for more than 10 hours? Why not turn it off?

last started kext at 2057828981557: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBMergeNub 900.4.2 (addr 0xfffffe002a9dfea0, size 1630)

Is the monitor USB connected to the Mac? Do you have other USB accessories connected?

 

[Juicy Box]

You leave your Mac running even if you are not using it for more than 10 hours? Why not turn it off?

Thanks for your help.

I use some of my Macs as servers, and am often using screen sharing from one Mac to another, which doesn't work when they are sleeping or shut down, so I leave them on.

Not the Mac that I am having an issue with, but some of my others I use headless and without a mouse and keyboard. They are just plugged into power.

BTW, one of my headless Macs I have has been running almost non-stop since 2007 without issue. Although, I am retiring that one soon.

Normally, it isn't an issue for me to leave them on.

Is the monitor USB connected to the Mac? Do you have other USB accessories connected?

The monitor's USB was plugged into the Mac when I first hooked it up, but after the second kernel panic a few weeks ago, I disconnected it to eliminate it as a cause. It wasn't.

Currently, I have three totally USB devices plugged in the Mac Mini:
The 23 year old Apple Pro Keyboard (I know it is old, but I prefer wired, full-sized keyboards, and I really like the way the Apple Pro keypresses feel). I hate typing on the newer aluminum Apple keyboards.
A Logitech RF Wireless Mouse transmitter, this is plugged into one of the keyboard USB ports
A RF transmitter for a headset

All of them worked fine for months prior to connecting the monitor. I did disconnect the headset transmitter for a week just to rule it out, but still got a kernel panic.

 

[Bigwaff]

The new monitor is a Samsung Neo G7

Connected via HDMI? USB-C? Possibile to switch connection types?

 

[MacDaddyPanda]

Have you tried connecting the previous monitor back to see if it really is the new monitor? Or is that the only thing that changed recently? No software changes? Or scheduled tasks or anything like that?

 

[Juicy Box]

I will also add that I am considering returning the Samsung Neo G7 monitor either for another Neo G7 to rule out a HW issue with the monitor, and/or a different monitor.

The display on the Neo G7 is really nice, and it fits perfectly on my desk, but if I keep getting kernel panics and the monitor might be the reason, I am thinking of returning it.

onnected via HDMI?

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, using the HDMI port on the MM. I thought that maybe the HDMI cable might be the issues, but I swapped it with a high quality one and still getting Kernel Panics.

USB-C? Possibile to switch connection types?

Ironically, I just gave away the only USB-C to HDMI cable I had to a co-worker. I have so many HDMI, Display Port, and Mini Display Port, as well as Display Port and Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter cables, but I hardly have any USB-C cables.

So, no, I cannot try USB-C at the moment, but I might get a cable just to try it, and to replace the one I gave away.

I do have some docks with HDMI and Display Port I can connect, maybe I will try that until I get a USB-C to HDMI cable. The Neo G7 has two HDMI and one DP.

The problem with doing anything of this is that the Kernel Panic usually takes a few days to manifest, so anything I do I won't know if it worked for a while.

Have you tried connecting the previous monitor back to see if it really is the new monitor?

Thank you for the reply.

I gave my monitor to my daughter, but might take it back temporally to test.

But...

Or is that the only thing that changed recently?

Yes, that was the only thing that change as far as I know. Which is why I think it is related to my brand new, expensive monitor.

No software changes?

I did update the OS to the latest available, but only after the Kernel Panics started in an attempt to fix the issue.

Nothing else was updated, with maybe the exception of the Blizzard battle.net launcher, it automatically updates WoW and WC3.

 

[Juicy Box]

Got another, happened about 12 hours ago. I am probably going to return the monitor and try something else.

After several more kernel panics with the Samsung Neo G7, I decided to try a different 4K monitor with similar specs.

I wanted another curved monitor, but couldn't find one with mini LEDs, so I ended up going with a INNOCN 32M2V 32"" 4K Mini LED IPS monitor:

INNOCN 32" Mini LED 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 Computer Gaming Monitor 144Hz 1ms IPS HDR1000 HDMI 2.1 Monitor, 99% DCI-P3, USB Type-C Connectivity, Pivot/Height Adjustable Stand - 32M2V

32" Mini LED 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 Computer Gaming Monitor 144Hz 1ms IPS HDR1000 HDMI 2.1 Monitor, 99% DCI-P3, USB Type-C Connectivity, Pivot/Height Adjustable Stand - 32M2V Size: 32 Inch Resolution: 3840 *2160p Panel type: IPS Back Lit: Mini LED Refresh Rate: 144hz Local dimming: Yes - 1152zone Aut...

www.amazon.com

Good news, no kernel panics so far, and it has been about a week using the INNOCN.


I like the Samsung better, I like the curve, and feel like color looks better on the Samsung. While aesthetics doesn't matter that much to me, the Samsung Neo G7 looks a lot better on the outside, as the INNOCN looks dated. I guess it is nice that the color now matches my Mac Mini, but again, aesthetics isn't important to me,

On thing that I think the INNOCN does better than the Samsung is HDR content, the colors really pop on the INNOCN.


All that said, the fact that the INNOCN doesn't cause kernel panics makes it superior to the Samsung. It was also significantly cheaper than the Samsung.

How come you didn’t try exchanging for another Samsung? Might have been that one was defective. Or did you mention that in a post here? But if the new monitor resolves the issue looks like that Samsung was the issue. But don’t know the exact reason. So do you consider the issue resolved and that’s that?

How come you didn’t try exchanging for another Samsung? Might have been that one was defective. Or did you mention that in a post here?

Yeah, I mentioned that I might return the one I had and buy another to see if it was just a defective unit, but it would have taken a few weeks to be shipped.

Samsung's quality control really sucks, too. So, there is a pretty good chance that I get a unit that doesn't have that kernel panic issue, but has some other issue.

Actually, I generally try to avoid Samsung due to their horrible quality control, I have had a few Samsung monitors/TVs that had issues, but the Neo G7 seemed worth it to me at the time.

But if the new monitor resolves the issue looks like that Samsung was the issue.

Yeah, pretty sure it was either a defective unit, or some incompatibility with my M2 Pro Mac Mini.

There was another issue that was annoying, and may have been related to the kernel panic, when the display should have been sleeping, about every 30 seconds, it would wake up to say "No Signal", and then go back to sleep, only to repeat the process over and over again.

After the kernel panic and the auto restart, this sleep related issue wouldn't be there (just turned off like normal), but once I logged into my account on the Mac, it would start happening.

But don’t know the exact reason. So do you consider the issue resolved and that’s that?

Yes. While I preferred the Samsung, I don't have time to deal with the issues, and Samsung support wanted me to contact Apple Support for the issue, which of course means taking my Mac to the Apple Store. I have had issues with Apple support in the past, and didn't want to deal with that at all.

So, the INNOCN works without kernel panics, and is almost as good as the Samsung while being much cheaper, so I am going to stick with the INNOCN for now.

Although, I won't say that I am completely done with the Samsung Neo G7.

I have a lot of Macs, and once I replace one of the last few iMacs that is currently daily used by my daughter, I will most likely get a Mac Studio as my main Mac, I will give her my M2 Pro Mac Mini with the INNOCN, and maybe try the Neo G7 again or maybe by then I might be able to get a curved OLED 4K 32" monitor.
