After updating to 15.4 my Mac mini m4 Pro "randomly" crash and reboot everyday with no reason...

System Specs:

M4 Pro

48 GB

400 gb+ of 1tb SSD HD

several WD external HDs connected

USB HUB



Apple Track pad

Logi wireless keyboard

Logi wireless Mouse


Xiaomi HDMI Display


OS 15.4.1


Is anyone else having this issue?


have read some issues here, did not see any definite answers for this problem, so disappointed about this new machine. There are totally 5 (3 back + 2 front) type C ports, don't think this is a problem for connecting some other stuffs together causing the failure of the power!

1) What USB Hub and WD drives do you have..?


To many bus powered external drives plugged into the Mac mini and/or into a bus powered hub can create power problems for the Mac mini.


The best practice, is to use a self-powered USB Hub for more than two bus powered external drives.




2) Full Computer Sleep Mode can cause a problem for these new Silicon Mac mini's.


As a test, Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off"



Set "Turn display off when inactive" to 5 or 10 minutes



Leave the Mac Mini On and only allow the display(s) to turn Off

Do not manually Sleep from the Apple Drop Down menu

Shut Down the Mac when away for a day or more



3) Contact and send Feedback to Apple about this issue.
