Lately, my MacBook Professional 13″ mid 2012 (working MacOS X 10.15.7 Catalina) is crashing typically.
Typically within the morning (typically additionally in the course of the day) I discover it rebooted with the primary login display. I estimate this occurs as soon as per week on common, somemimes extra typically.
I needed to search out out, when it occurs and what induced the reboot, however I couldn’t discover the related log data in Console.app .
Which log do I’ve to look into for such data?
The Crash logs solely appear to be for sure functions. All entries listed here are for OneDriveStandaloneUpdater. I eliminated OneDrive now utterly (I hope), as I didn’t actively use it.
However the place can I discover the whole system logs and what key phrases do I must seek for such undesirable system reboots?
(I keep in mind having learn someplace, that there could possibly be {hardware} points like e. g. the flat ribbon cable of the onerous drive) inflicting issues with these MacBooks.
Possibly a silly query: would there nonetheless be log entries when the system all of a sudden reboots as a result of such {hardware} issues, or may it’s potential that there isn’t a details about the crash within the system logs as a result of there was no software program any extra working which may catch details about the crash with such {hardware} points?)
EDIT:
In Console.app, once I choose system.log, it solely reveals one thing like “file couldn’t be learn”. For positive I am logging in with an administrator account when beginning console.app
