my X58 setup wouldn't shutdown properly most times

[mrjayviper]

So I have the x58 setup below. And I'm getting weird behavior when it comes to shut down.

 

There are times when it will properly shutdown. But most times, shutdown doesn't work properly. When I said it doesn't work properly, it goes like this:

 

1.all apps are closed

2. monitor go dim

3. CPU fan is still spinning even when left alone for 5 minutes.

 

The only way to shut it down is to press the power button for several seconds or unplug from the wall socket.

 

I am loading the following drivers/extensions:

1. FakeSMC

2. AppleIntelE1000e

3. patched AppleHDA

 

I've tried placing FakeSMC/AppleIntelE1000e into kexts/10.11 (clover) and inside SLE without any possitive outcome.

 

Any ideas what could be wrong? thanks!

Do you tried apply DSDT patch for this?

Or if you use Clover, already try the fix in your config.plist?

1. I didn't know I need a patch. Can you please point me in the right direction?

 

2. I checked my config.plist inside "Clover Configurator" and I have ticked "Fix Shutdown".

 

Thanks again

into method label _PTS code_regex_not If\s*\(LEqual\s*\(Arg0,\s*0x05\)\) code_regex ^((?:.|\n)*)$ replace_matched

begin

        If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x05))\n

        {\n

            Store (Zero, SLPE)\n

            Sleep (0x10)\n

        Else\n

        {\n

        }

end;

[mrjayviper]

where do I insert that? look for a label called "PTS"?

 

thanks again

 

edit: This is my current _PTS method

 

 

    Method (_PTS, 1, NotSerialized)
    {
        Or (Arg0, 0xF0, Local0)
        Store (Local0, DBG1)
        OSTP ()
        Or (Arg0, 0xF0, Local0)
        Store (Local0, DBG1)
        If (LEqual (Arg0, One)) {}
        If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03)) {}
        If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x05))
        {
            Store (0x99, SMIP)
        }
 
        If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x04))
        {
            If (LNot (PICF))
            {
                Sleep (0x64)
            }
        }
    }

easier if you make a .txt file with that content and use maciasl to inject it

I copied --all-- the stuff you typed above and created a text file. I then click Patch on MaciASL and selected the text file not thing happens. The "apply" button is disabled.

 

It also says "0 patches, 0 changes".

 

Can you please help? thanks

Try this: Archive.zip

 

And a good thing that we can give to you, is some guides created explaining how you can use DSDT, patches, know if you really need make your own modified DSDT, etc.

DSDT/SSDT: Basic knowledge
DSDT/SSDT: Edit using MacIASL
DSDT/SSDT: Common DSDT patches

If DSDT provided by Allan doesn't work either try this :

dsdt.aml.zip

I am also having this exact problem.  I've applied all the various patches trough clover (FixShutdown, Halt enabler, etc.) but nothing seems to work.  I'm a bit hesitant to apply a DSDT file that you guys posted as I'm afraid i will brick my system (I'm not 100% sure what those files do honestly). I've attached mine for reference.

Hello, welcome to InsanelyMac!

 

Can you post your hardware details? Create an signature for you 

Is better to us to know what to do with your files.

I guess that would help.

Two questions:

 

1. How do I apply a DSDT file? I've been using Clover Configurator for making changes up til now.

 

2. Can this break my system?  I have a boot key that I can use to reinstall things, but I'd rather not.

[tempest2084]

Assuming I put it in the right place, the DSDT file didn't help.

[Allan]

Where did you put the DSDT file?

[tempest2084]

EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched

[Allan]

Ok, it's right.

 

I'll try others things in your DSDT. 

 

Can you send me your config.plist too?

[tempest2084]

Sure.  Here you go.

config.plist.zip

[tempest2084]

I tried various plist options last night and still can't get a consistent shutdown.  It does work one out of every ten times or so, which is kind of odd.

[Allan]

Try this config.plist with the DSDT that I sent to you.

 

config.plist.zip

[tempest2084]

Thanks I'll try this when I get home.  What did you change if you don't mind me asking?

[Allan]

I just made a little clean in your config.plist, erasing the DSDT Clover patches, avoiding conflict between them.
