I have a Macbook Pro, touchbar, 15", 2016 and continue to get frequent system panics, up to twice a day. This has continued through various software updates including right up to this weeks beta of 10.13.3.
The symptom is that occasionally you may see the system panic screen, but more often you just notice touch can't be used for login, and apps take a while to get relaunched.
Checking files in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticLogs/panic shows com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4100 as the most likely candidate in the backtrace
I have tried changing pmset to have autopoweroff=0, hibernatemode=0 but the issue continues. It ONLY occurs when connected to an external monitor - both a USB-C native 4k, and a USB-C->DP 1080.
My latest change is to try disabling auto graphics switching, though I'm not convinced as the discrete graphics is always used with an external display in any case.
A full system reset is one option, but inconvenient & //should// be unnecessary.
Any advices on getting more information? System traces? Is anyone else seeing these panics with the same, or different hardware?
Or if you are using the same hardware and ARE NOT seeing this (with an external display) ?
