NoSmokingBandit Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've used Chrome on my current hackintosh forever, but it just recently started causing panics. I can do anything else I want, but even if Chrome is running with no tabs open it will eventually KP. I can't make sense of this, what could be going wrong?

Allan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 This happens only when you use Chrome? If you use other web browser, you have KP too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSmokingBandit Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Nope. I've been using Opera since Chrome started acting up and everything is fine as long as Chrome is not open. I've tried removing Chrome with AppCleaner and re-installing. Same problem. I'd be surprised if Chrome is the actual problem, I just can't figure out what else could be triggering this.

Allan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Strange. Try Chomium. But, your power management is totally configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSmokingBandit Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I've been using Chromium since you suggested it and no KPs yet. I never liked Chromium since there was no way to auto-update it but it looks like they make an extension for it. Neat. I have NullCPUPowermanagement loaded via clover. I don't know anything else about power management. This is for a desktop, so I haven't worried too much about power management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosakgroove Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well bro, NullCPUPowerManagement is your problem... You should not need this for installing OSX if you use Clover. You should generate your own powermanagement SSDT afterwards, using the script avaliable in this forum. That grants you much less KP's, general performance stability, a much cooler system, and a much better performance in heavy tasks. You should ALWAYS CARE about power management.. It's like one of the first bricks in the palace that can be your Hackintosh. NullCPUPowerManagement is from the time when we used Distros, for Leopard or SnowLeopard, cause there was nothing else... It's not a needed kext nowadays. Nowadays it is actually a counterproductive one. You should get rid of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AICPM is better use in Sandy Bridge and newest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosakgroove Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 AFAIK this is the best script to generate power management SSDT for Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh But Allan is right, i didnt notice your kind of CPU. AICPM would be the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 AFAIK this is the best script to generate power management SSDT for Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell Yes you're right, but for this kind of CPU...nothing changes... -target CPU type: Sandy Bridge Ivy Bridge Haswell Broadwell Skylake If he wants, he can use Generate P and C states to get better results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
