newlich Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 System: Alienware 15 R1 (Early 2015) + Clover r4061 CPU: i7-4710HQ / HM87 Graphics: GTX 970M (Optimus) / Intel HD 4600 Without boot CPUS=1, I will stuck at login screen (after enter password). There is one time I successful booted in, however the GUI is buggy and animated laggy. What I've done: -Patching LAPTOP DSDT/SSDTs (aisle, MaciASL) -Native Power Management for Laptops ( ssdtPRGen.sh ) -Lapic Kernel Enabled The only thing I haven't try is VoodooTSCSync.kext, however from what I've studied from hackintosh forum, it is not suitable to install this for laptop. I've no idea where is the problem/mistake right now. Can somebody please enlighten me? Thanks. Note: I promise you, I never ever edit config.plist with textEditor, I only edit with PlistEdit Pro. Also, I will only edit DSDT/SSDTs in format .asl with MaciASL. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323586-freezestuck-without-cpus1-alienware-15-r1-early-2015-4710hq/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlich Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Alienware laptops with Ivy Bridge CPUs and newer have TSCSync problem, trust me on this one Last night, I tested with VoodooTSCSync with IOCPUNumber=7, and it works perfectly! Four cores, 8 threads running up (confirmed with Activity Monitor). Today, I face booting problem, it shows a lot of "thread 1, thread 2, .... thread 21" then restart. So I keep trying, there is very rare chances able to boot into macOS, and all core running fluent. I tried remove and reinstall the VoodooTSCSync again (Kext Wizard), but it doesn't solve the issue. Any idea? Am I missing some steps for VoodooTSCSyncs?

vusun123 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Remove any patched dsdt and try again, also you have to create an SSDT for your CPU using Pike's ssdtPRGen Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323586-freezestuck-without-cpus1-alienware-15-r1-early-2015-4710hq/#findComment-2422826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlich Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Remove any patched dsdt and try again, also you have to create an SSDT for your CPU using Pike's ssdtPRGen All DSDT/SSDT removed. Created new DSDT(removed error) and SSDT(ssdtPRGen). Still same problem as above. I managed to boot in a second time randomly, I use Kext Wizard to check loaded kext, and I saw VoodooTSCSync is running. If I boot in with CPUS=1, I see that VoodooTSCSync not loaded. Is that normal for CPUS=1? Or I'm having problem that VoodooTSCSync won't load during booting. post ur full clover folder here As requested. CLOVER attached.

newlich Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 try a simple config with essencial CLOVER.zip after u edited full DSDT with all essencial patches It works! After I use your CLOVER file + my own DSDT SSDT, it able to boot in (one-time success). After that, I change back to my own CLOVER file, and it able to boot in every time. Don't understand why, I wish I can have an answer/explanation to this. How come? Why? Side story: OS X mouse acceleration so annoying. I installed SmoothMouse to disable it. MUCH better.
