Sonoma keeps crashing frequently and randomly. Never had any such issue with Ventura. Issues started after installing Sonoma on my Mac Book Pro (Apple M1 Max, 16 inch). Clearly a buggy OS, all apps up to date. Don't point at apps, please ...it's a Sonoma problem.
My MacBook M2 (Pro 13" 2022 release) has crashed once a day since the update to MacOS Sonoma, it's surprising that there hasn't been a patch update to fix this problem considering the amount of people that are vocalizing their concerns.

Usually upon opening the lid for the first time after having my computer on the charger overnight, I am prompted to re-enter my password, which tells me that it has been restarted. After logging in, I am greeted with a message stating that _windowserver has crashed, and I can submit a report to Apple or ignore.
I spoke to Apple support today. They know the issues. All of the suggestions above are just delayed smoke and mirrors. It is an OS issue and none of this will get fixed until they update Sonoma. It is their usual game.
I think apple had made an serious issue releasing this update we have over 500 users with macbooks and over 70% of them has issues that system keeps crashing some of them have had it with office not installed from app store some with different causes
The original Mac had unprotected memory. A really simple app programming error could result in it eating away at the RAM, chomping through the display memory and the audio card until the computer would give that cheary sound that meant it was hosed and then it would reboot.
Happening here too on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air soon after Sonoma install. No unusual installed software. Twice when sitting in idle. Once just now when browsing a boring Safari page. The previous Mac OS has been so stable for so many years - this is disturbing! I'm glad not to be running some important real time app...
I've had the same issue - doesn't seem to matter what software I'm running; the mouse/trackpad cursor freezes for a bit and then there's a crash. Definitely only started happening after upgrading to Sonoma 14.0, before that my MacBook Pro 16" 2023 (M2) has been very stable. (Happens 1-2x per day.) (Not sure, but I think it happens within 10-15 minutes of coming back from sleep?)
After frequent crashes immediately after installing Sonoma, I eventually wrote a zsh script to log uptime and the 'top' status (previously posted). Since it is a random amount of time before my machine will hang or crash, it is essentially unusable to do anything productive so all these times in the chart below are with the machine idle of user-level applications running: Reboot, login, do nothing but wait, crash, repeat. Average is 74 minutes. Well loaded MacBook 2019 Intel with no devices attached. Sometimes no WiFi either. Just a MacBook sitting there with Sonoma doing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes until it crashes. Sure, it could be Dropbox or Adobe Creative Cloud doing stuff in the background but the machine was rock solid with Ventura and all these apps before the "upgrade".
After about 25 crashes, level 1 support recommended that I take my M1 chip iMac to the Apple Store for hardware diagnostics, which I did. Of course, they gave me the usual recommendation, format the hard disk, reinstall OS from scratch, and then restore from Time Machine. The hardware test passed with flying colors. So it must be the software. I mentioned to him, if the restore would re-load the software bug back into the OS and he just said that this process resolves these type of issues 99% of the time. Right after wards, my iMac crashed like 5 times the following day, so the Apple Store recommendation was useless and just scripted process.
I made an appointment with a senior advisor over the phone. He looked at the panic logs and we realized that the sleep/wake was causing all the crashes. So he recommended the settings below under Energy Saver:
Yeah I am having this problem as well on my M1 14 inch 2021 running Sonoma 14.2.1 and the version immediately prior. It happens most frequently when watching video, whether in Apple TV (the image hangs to the extent where I can't even back out to view the Finder and get to Force Quit, so I have to restart), or just plain old Quicktime player.
I sometimes use an external monitor and one weird feature of the crashes is that sometimes the main monitor (my laptop's) remains frozen but I can continue working on the second monitor which is operating as a mirror. However it's a little slow if I do that, so I often end up having to restart anyway. Very buggy system.
My (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Intel, 2019) iMac's fans have been blowing hard since the Sonoma update. My 2017 (Intel) MacBook Pro started overheating and crashing regularly after one of the most recent Ventura updates and now I can't run half as many apps as the first Ventura updates.
My gut tells me this is a switchover to phase-out the old Intel chip computers and push the new operating system code that takes advantage of the new Apple chip computers -- but it seems the old Intel chips are running hot with the new code!
Apple! What the heck. iMacPro crashing since Sonoma upgrade, never crashed before, now crashes multiple times a day when waking from sleep. Great job testing! This company is to busy being a finance and media company vs. a computer company, very sad.
Same issue as everyone else. Upgraded my Mac with Apple M1 Pro to Sonoma, and now it's crashing at least once a day, sometimes more. It seems to occur when it's trying to wake up. Previously I had Ventura and no issues. I have added no new apps, so this is definitely an OS issue.
By default, that option is unchecked.
If you're now happy to let uTorrent manage the cache, one wonders why you overrode that option in the first place...
Default options are usually in place for a reason, and overridden at users peril.
On my 16GB computer, I would often run out of memory. Because of that, I did everything I could think of to free up more memory, including manually controlling the cache size and reducing the number of torrents I was seeding and other things. When I did that, things started crashing. One of the main reasons I spent $4000 on a super computer is to eliminate these problems with 128GB of RAM. I then increased the cache size to the maximum of 1800.. but.. the program was STILL crashing every 30 minutes!
So.. this crashing problem that has been around for at least 7 years... is the reason why so many people insist on sticking with version 2.2.1 of Utorrent instead of upgrading.. or using Qbittorrent, Bittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, libtorrent, Vuze, and others..
Obviously, the current developers don't even know what many of the options do.. otherwise this 7 year nightmare of crashing with the cache override would have been fixed many years ago. I doubt they fix it even now. That is typical of computer software. A program is written.. and over time features are added.. and often introduce problems.. which never get fixed. Surprisingly, Bittorrent has the same problem with the override as Utorrent does.
I now understand why. People love to complain. They would rather complain and argue rather than fix a problem. I provided EXTREMELY valuable information.. but instead of getting any appreciation at all, I get none.. in fact, I get arguments instead.
The typical argument is someone saying "I'm going to keep using the ancient version 2!" Heaven forbid that the people making Utorrent should make a penny out of it with advertisements. For $5 a YEAR, you can removed all the advertisements. If you download one thing a year via Utorrent, it has already paid for itself.
For those people so in love with version 2. You people obviously don't SEED files and are just leeches. If you seeded thousands of torrents like I do (people like me are why torrents work, by the way). then you would appreciate the changes made in version 3. In version 2, if your computer crashes with thousands of torrents, you can expect to spend several weeks re-checking your torrents before they are usable again. With version 3, instead of weeks it typically takes much less than 1 day.
As for malware.. beware old versions of uttorrent. There are a lot of "modified" versions of Utorrent 2.2.1 with malware attached to them. Utorrent no longer distributes version 2.2.1 - so anybody downloading that version is getting a copy from some unreliable, unauthorized source who is most likely baiting you with downloading their "special edition" which has malware attached to it.
Unraid server running on 6.11.5v and has been crashing the moment I start a torrent. I have tried qbittorrent and deluge, gone through several reconfigurations. I can open the app and do whatever within the server. They can even run with no issue. Yet the moment I link a torrent file the whole Unraid server crashes. I tried using a libtorrent 1.2v as well. I am really at a loss, this server worked for 8 months with no issues until now. I have spent at least 10 hours and have gotten nothing but frustration trying to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
