Google Chrome caused the crash, according to the logs. Basically Google Chrome attempted to address a part of the graphic memory that was already being used, and the computer shut down.

You said it happened "a couple of times". How many times did it happen so far?

Also, Does it always happen with Chrome? If so, send a bug report to Google, the people who make Chrome. Does it happen with other programs? If there is, your graphic card might be failing. Have you tried using an external graphics card?
As I said, it only happened a couple of times, maybe 3 at most, and in my opinion it was all due to the same thing (having about 50 tabs opened for months)

Most likely it is because I have dozens of Chrome tabs with videos and various website open, waiting for me to see them and close them but I'm not sure why it has crashed only now while I have had them open for months and months.

Would anyone here be able to read the crash report and helping me figure out what caused the crash?

Written for Intel Macs, most or these still apply on AS.

IMO anyone who has had tabs open for months and months should expect crashes. Just reboot the Mac and fuggedaboutit. If it is a recurring issue with OS and all apps up to date you may be seeing the impact of very typical inadequate RAM constantly forcing swap to SSD. If so, change your use style or buy a box with proper RAM.

Left side bottom says Report, it's menu bar has the share icon, copy report, open the site you want to paste the report to and there's no info about you included.

Hello, after looking through the crash reports, it looks like it is related to "bridgeos" and the issue is called "bug 210".

I also discussed with a technician from an Apple store, through messages, and he told me they are aware of the issue regarding certain older models and related to the GPU and the macOS update. He said it should be patched soon

On a 2020 intel iMac!!!???? I would be shocked :eek: since it's not a silicone thingy. Hope they do patch.

Wow. Seems like this issue goes way back. HD Fan had your problem

and the thread ended a short bit after that.
Yes with AMD GPU, but it's weird cause when asking the Apple support online they don't know about this, maybe it's really the technician that know this.

But that's definitely weird, I have only seen one or two post about the same issue this year, in August but haven't seen anything else other than that… It is definitely the same error all over again though.
