Daily kernel panics 2020 MBA

[JBank]

I've been experiencing daily or near-daily kernel panics ever since I received my MacBook Air a few weeks ago. There is really no third-party software installed as of yet, except for Google Chrome. Even after upgrading to 10.15.5, the panics still occur.

They appear to occur randomly -- I've experienced them both in the middle of use and when returning to the MacBook after its been asleep. There is no record of these kernel panics in the Console app or in the /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports folder. I've read that when a kernel panic log doesn't show up here, it could indicate a hardware issue. There are other details that make me particularly concerned it's a hardware issue:

1. it's an upgraded MBA with the i5 and 16GB of RAM.
2. no third-party software installed
3. I've looked online and the file trap_native.c (from the log below) seems to be a hardware fault handler.

Kernel panic - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

I haven't reinstalled the OS, reset NVRAM, etc. so I guess that's my next step. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.

Sounds like you have faulty hardware.

Exchange it for a new one. Have used mine daily for around 1 month with no kernel panics so far.

I have not experienced anything like that. I used to get some on my old hp desktop which was a 2002 model, and that was caused by the operating system (xP) getting corrupted when the electricity was interrupted during a storm.

I experienced it again when trying to upgrade to service pack 3, and it needed service pack 1 to be installed first.

I experienced kernel panics on my MacBook 211 computer, but those only happened like 3 times in the entire time I used it (2011-2020). They were random, and no idea what caused them. A restart fixed them each time.

Since this is happening often on a new computer, it sounds like you have a lemon. Talk to Apple. Hopefully they can send you a new one. Something is not right with yours.
