TheShadowKnows Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I am running macOS 10.12.6; when the screen saver loads my system freezes / locks up, and I have to do a force restart. The screen saver doesn't move and I can't even ping the system using a different system. It's completely locked up. I disabled the screen saver and let my system run for 24 hours with the console open and I didn't get any errors. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I choose wake from USB device, or keyboard any key and my 3 hackintosh work in 12.6. If keyboard is PS2 you can choose that option in bios for most boards as well.

Gigamaxx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yeah so that may just be the issue, not sure though sorry! It could be, but his system does work as long as it doesn't sleep or screen save. There are a few configuration variables, like power management, bios settings, Bluetooth or USB fixes, Clover Drivers64EFI (EMUVariable, OSXAptiofixdrv, OSXAptiofixdrv2, etc..) that could be causing the issue. Not to mention DSDT fixes or a lack of. Hackintosh is like a golf swing there are literally 1000s of things that can go wrong in a short period of time. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/326863-screen-saver-on-10126-keeps-freezing-locking-up-system-and-i-have-to-force-restart/#findComment-2490266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShadowKnows Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 I enabled the Power On By Keyboard option in the BIOS/UEFI. I will let my computer run over night with the screen saver enabled and I report back tomorrow. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/326863-screen-saver-on-10126-keeps-freezing-locking-up-system-and-i-have-to-force-restart/#findComment-2490271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigamaxx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 What are your system specs? Can you put them in your signature line? Do you have a graphics card?

Hannah_09 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It didn't work. My system locked up again. What happens if you put your computer to sleep? is it more the sleep causing it to freeze rather than the screensaver?

Sleep actually works since I am not using the iGPU. Oddly enough, when I wake up my system the Ethernet doesn't work.
