I've had a Mac Studio for two weeks now. While I love it, I've come across a couple of issues I'm not too happy about. One was a kernel panic caused by Onedrive, and to me, no matter how bad a program might be, an OS should be strong enough to kill it and not let it bring the whole system down. Another kernel panic was caused by copying a lot of files from an external mechanical drive into the internal SSD, about 2.5 TBs that obviously took a long time, but again, that shouldn't be able to take down the whole OS. And the drive itself doesn't have any problems. I've done that before with my iMac and it never gave me a kernel panic from copying TBs of files. But I guess these may be mac OS problems.
But the other problem that seems more hardware related. This happened about three times in two weeks, and it is that when I turned on the monitor, nothing came on screen, and after a few seconds, it showed me the message that it wasn't receiving a signal, so it would go to sleep. But the machine is on, and if I press some of the keys, the internal speaker makes that sound when you press the wrong key, which in this case it's because it's in the login screen, expecting me to enter the password. One time I even did that, without seeing, but I typed it and pressed enter, and nothing happened. The only way to get back the signal was to unplug the cable from the back of the Mac Studio and plug it back in, then it got the signal.
But this weird because it's not something that happens every time the monitor is off for hours, in fact many nights I left the machine on, turned the monitor off, and the next morning when I turned on the monitor and then pressed a key on my keyboard, the monitor showed the login screen.
The Mac Studio is connected to two Dell P2715Qt monitors, using two USB-C to Displayport cables I got on Amazon a few days before I was set to receive the Mac Studio. As far as I can tell, they are strong cables, they connect very well, it's easy to insert them but not to the point where they seem like they're loose. About the same as the Apple branded cables.
The second monitor is not very much in use with this machine, it's connected to a Macbook Pro with a USB-C to mini Displayport cable. And I haven't had any problems with that connection. I still have to swap the two monitors, but these are identical, I've had them for about 6 years and never gave me any problem.
Has this happened to anyone here?
