I have a new 2021 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro that is regularly crashing hard - a complete freeze and then reboot. When using an external monitor, the monitor turns purple ("purple screen of death"). At first this happened while using Chrome, Zoom, and Descript, an audio and video editing program. I switched from Chrome to Safari, and haven't had the problem with Zoom since an update. I called Apple and also brought the machine in to the Apple store, erased the whole Mac, tried with a fresh install and just one piece of software (Descript) and the crash still happens. After going in again, Apple Store sent the computer in for service, but it was returned with no work done due to "not being able to replicate the problem." The Mac phone support person suggested a possible hardware problem, but the hardware diagnostics at the Apple store were negative. Here is the stack trace. If anyone could help to narrow down the problem and its cause, that would be amazing, because this piece of software is the most critical one for my work. I've also tried using Monterey Beta 2.1, but the problem persists. Kernel panic stack trace
