MacBook Pro crash after sleeping for a long time

crashmacbook pro

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016) running macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (16B2659). Recently I found out that if I left my machine sleeping for a long amount of time (about 15+ hours), it will cause a kernel panic and restart itself so when I open my computer the next time it will tell me the computer have shutdown unexpectedly. Is this a software bug or my computer have problem?

EDIT:

I got this problem today. The shutdown cause is -128. Maybe a hardware failure? Also sometimes instead of a crash, I also have this problem. (I posted that as a separate question since it's not a crash). Here is the crash report.

Occasional kernel panics are more nanannoyance than something to be fixed.

How serious are occasional kernel panics?

However, if you can make them happen, there is a process to resolve them:

The log files that you've posted aren't providing much good information regarding the crashes. The best clue from the logs may be this line (which could be indicative of OpenGL graphics context problems):

9/10/13 10:42:57.764 AM SystemUIServer[271]: It does not make sense to draw an image when [NSGraphicsContext currentContext] is nil.  This is a programming error. Break on void _NSWarnForDrawingImageWithNoCurrentContext() to debug.  This will be logged only once.  This may break in the future.

However, your description of the problem symptoms (the screen going black/grey; a red line appearing during boot) may point directly at graphics (video card) issues. Although it may be possible for you to perform some tests to pinpoint the problems, it may be worth having the machine examined by a qualified technician.

Using the Apple Hardware Test may help you to diagnose why the crashes are occuring. Alternately, there are some good freeware diagnostics available for OS X (Rember will test the RAM in your Mac).

If the problems are graphics/video related, you may be able to reproduce the issues by pushing the machine's graphics processor to perform. This can be accomplished by using some sort of high-end graphics application (one that heavily utilizes OpenGL). A potentially helpful option may be Cinebench

It's also possible that you're having problems related to graphics context switching. I might recommend trying to disable that option in the Energy Saver System Preference to see if the symptoms subside. More info on How to set graphics performance.

MacOS – Kernel panic: need help to confirm or refute the hypotheses about the cause

I see it shows the mtmd been the problem.........

DESCRIPTION mtmd is the Mobile Time Machine snapshot daemon. It is responsible for creating local snapshots of files in real time. It obeys the same exclusion configuration as external Time Machine backups

For what I see from your log, there was a problem with the Hard Disk, and with the USB disk

com.apple.iokit.IOSCSIBlockCommandsDevice,

and com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass.

Disabling the virtualbox and test without it might show it.
