Last night, my macbook (10.13.4) was sleeping while low on power. I got on it this morning and the battery was dead. After charging, I noticed that if I close the lid to put the computer to sleep, it will restart over and over again. The same thing happens while I tell the computer to sleep via the menu or terminal with pmset
. The restart cycle continues -- the computer will reboot to the login screen, eventually go to sleep, and then reboot about 30 seconds after starting to sleep. There are no visible error messages, but chrome will complain of an improper shutdown if it was open during the last session before sleep.
disk utility says nothing is wrong, I've seen similar issues that suggested removing the sleep image and reseting the pram and smc. The issue persists in safe boot.
If i look at the logs (log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "Previous shutdown cause"' --last 24h
), when the restart cycle continues I will see entries like:
2018-07-06 11:08:41.767136-0400 0xb1 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleSMC) Previous shutdown cause: -128
Cause -128
looks to be a possible memory or hardware issue from what I can tell. But the apple hardware test does not show any issues. And these are my pmset
settings:
~ % pmset -g
