Why did my Mac mini running Sonoma go violet then restart?

My screens flashed a violet colored blank page and then the machine restarted. This happened before when I was away, it could have been a power failure but no one in my office noticed an outage.

I’m on a Mac Mini M1 2020 I’m using a OWC Thunderbolt Dock to connect external drives. It looks like a OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock.

I’m running Sonoma.

Well, maybe not enough info to diagnose but perhaps others have had this happen.

Please Advise
