Kernel panic related to nvme, MacBook Pro crashes every time it goes to sleep

I have a MacBook Pro 13" late 2017 with 2 thunderbolts and every time it goes to sleep (when I close the lid or after some time of inactivity) the MacBook crashes and shows an unresponsive black screen or more commonly a black screen which states that the computer need to be restarted. Attached here some related crash log.


The problem occur only if I wait something like 20 minutes or more after sleep and seems to not occur when battery is above 85%. The macbook have been checked in an Apple Store, no hardware issues have been diagnosed. The problem persist in every single Catalina version from the first release to the latest beta and is not present in previous macOS versions such as Mojave.


They returned me my MacBook with Mojave installed and said to me just to wait for some unspecified future update that might fix the problem. They suggested to me to report the problem via the feedback app and that's what I did, but I also would like to use the new Catalina and not get stuck with an old OS.


I tried to set hibernation mode to 25 and also to disable the standby feature, nothing works, the computer still crashes but the crash log presents a different error: "Sleep Wake failure in EFI".


It is interesting to note that the problem was inexistent a moth ago, now instead persist on every Catalina versions, even some versions I used without having any problem in the past!


Can you suggest any temporary solution? Are you experiencing the same problems?


MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Sadly resetting the SMC does not solve the issue.

I already brought my MacBook to the Apple Store few days ago. They did all their test and didn't find any problem hardware related, neither they found any solution to the problem.

Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro does not qualify to the solid state drive service.




If they had you computer on the back bench and ran their diagnostic test — AST (Apple Service Toolkit)

and found no solution seems surprising. All you can do is take in again and ask for some resolve...



See this Apple HT— a different Mac a different issue— however follow the charging protocol, then in the morning after the extended charge—try resetting the SMC and test.

You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison.  A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.


Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


 ends in .panic  post the whole report .

They had my laptop for 2 days and they explicitly told me that they would do all the necessary diagnoses, so I suppose they tried everything they could.

But still I was a bit unhappy whey they gave me back my MacBook with no solution at all. The Genius wasn't helpful, he dismissed to respond further questions and complains from me and just kept repeating that they couldn't do anything more for me. This is the reason I am asking on this forum now.


Thank you very much for the suggestions, I will do as you said and report back the results as soon as I can.
