After updating to 15.4 my Mac mini m4 randomly crash and reboot while using Ableton Live

Hi. Before updating my Mac mini 16gb all was fine but once I've updated it at 15.4 sometimes happens that my computer freeze for a few seconds and reboot. Since I'm using Ableton all day, I thought it was a problem with that app, but when I went to Apple center they told me that it's really weird, because it should just crash the app and not the whole pc.

Just to know, Ableton is legit as well as all the plugins I've installed in it by downloading them from their own websites


I'm attaching here the crash log. I'm not really an expert of these topics so please, if anyone could assist me that would be really appreciated.


Ableton version 12.1.11

Mac OS version 15.4.1 (just updated)


Mac mini

Crash Reports can be read and understood by only a few of us and I am not one of them


How often has the computer been restarted since the update ?


A good starting point >> Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts.


The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading.


It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


Does the issue present in this mode ?



EDITED - me

Q - " I'll restart the computer in safe mode and I'll try see if it is still happening. If yes, what would that mean? same, if no, what would that mean? "


If yes, this would be starting point and possibly be a indictor of some Third Party Software, extension or driver acting up


If No, more work would be needed.


Let us know what the out comes are and we can move forwards with this
