spontaneaous reboot MacMini 2018

Occasionally the little Mac reboots spontaneously after which I get the following message:

"Your computer was restarted because of a problem.

Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple"

Does anyone have a solution for this annoying thing? I ran EtreCheck, but no major issues were detected.

A clone of this Mini runs on my Macbook Air which doesn't create this problem!

MacOs 10.14.6

3 Ghz Intel Core i5,

16 Gb 2667 Mhz DDR4 (OWC)

You’re not running the latest MacOS, that’s a major issue. Even if it isn’t the root cause, it’s an issue for troubleshooting. Just do it?

In that case your choices are to live with the problem or get rid of your 32 bit apps or contact the relevant App Support departments for fixes. In short, this isn’t an Apple issue. Sorry!

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I did install Catalina last week and yes, no bootup problems anymore. However, I still have one or two 32 bit apps which I value. That's the reason I went back to Mojave.

I still wonder why the Mini generates this problem whereas my Macbook air does not.

best regards,

Rob
