Mojave Random System Crash

[GuySwann]

Been having system crashes (once a day roughly) ever since the upgrade to Mojave. I ran Multibeast without much issue and the only thing that didn't work was the networking which I solved by copying the EFI folder from the install USB.

The crash doesn't come with any performance issues or prior warning, its just an immediate and complete shutdown. Its about 3 seconds from working on something, to needing to type in the BIOS password. I saved the last report to see if anyone had any idea what might be causing this. It says "bad tail" for something but I can't make much useful sense of it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

If you are using an exFAT formatted drive I would suggest disconnecting it.

 

[GuySwann]

Interesting... Im not certain if I formatted one of my media drives as exFat or not, but if that’s loading I guess one is? I’ll look into it. Is this usually an issue?

I typically format everything as Mac OS journaled. I did that for my Mojave partition as well but it ended up as APFS after the install.

Also, does there happen to be a way to combine two APFS partitions (one being the OS) without undoing all of my work and having to reinstall everything? Thought it would be easy, but it doesn’t want to give me the option.

I’ll check on the drives and disconnect the exFat if that’s the case and update here.
