random crashes etc BiomeAgent

MacBook 2015 1.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core M

Few symptoms started occurring a few weeks ago - fully updated OCLP but running Sequoia 15.6.1 --symptoms include but not limited to e.g.

  • would crash whilst lid shut and would hear it restart if I plugged into PSU
  • video would appear stilted then freeze
  • basic desktop background not loading
  • apps locking up.
  • things iCloud based eg contact details or iMessages not syncing up between the MacBook and my other apple devices

in console there is a BiomeAgent crash report - in brief this is the gist of it (I can load it up here if it will help/ is allowed ?)

any help advice appreciated !

thanks

Andy
