[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1869719, member: 396914"] Lisa, I would be surprised if it were Big Sur as I would have expected more reports of it happening, given that Big Sur got a LOT of press when it was released. And as I said, a quick search didn't yield anything at all, so it's not prevalent, unless folks are keeping it to themselves. And you would also think that if it were the OS, there would be something the system log about what it was going to do, or was doing. Nada. Charlie, I do have a UPS, and I have a whole-house generator. No power glitches near the time of the STOP/Start phenomenon. No crash report, no reboot, no login, no kernel panic, just stop......resume. Like it blacked out for a while. I really don't want to buy a new system right now. I want an M1 for the next system, but I don't want a 13" machine. I suppose I could go for a Mini and use the Display I have for that and wait for a good sized M1 system next year. I was hoping to keep this 2015 going to at least then. What worries me is what might happen if it decides to STOP and not start or boot again. I do have backups, so I could get back in the water again fairly quickly, I suppose. We'll see if the SMC reset fixes it (I seriously doubt it, but you never know.) [/QUOTE]
