Minecraft and MacBook Pro crash issue

My MacBook Pro has started crashing after a couple of minutes playing Minecraft on it. Before I downloaded OS Ventura it would play perfectly. Has anyone else experience this problem?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.5

Have you blown the dust out of the intakes lately?

What temperatures does this App report? Especially the GPU.

This App can be used to speed up the fans, all my iMacs would be dead without it.

Never ever ever drop fan speeds below the speed that the Mac itself is calling for.

Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?


In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.


Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

These last two seem to point to a Hardware problem with the GPU.:(
