VII Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi everyone, I just installed High sierra 10.13.3, but i've a huge problem, the system randomly freezes, whatever app i'm using! I can only move the mouse. https://we.tl/G6oU2ZPkPw This is a video of a freeze while i was explaining my problem to a member of this forum Hardware: m/b: asrock h97 pro4 cpu: i5 4690 gpu: asus strix r9 380 4gb (Sorry for my bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bor Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Same story here! Safari/Photoshop/Final Cut X...everything randomly freezes system after couple minutes. Like OP, I can still move around mouse cursor. I think it's somehow caused by GPU Metal drivers. This is why I think so. I've used Fractal Architect app to see if OpenCL & Metal run properly. All OpenCL tests run fast and produce expected images. But when You choose Metal as renderer, first two of tests look really bad. Something is clearly wrong. I also notice this line appearing in Console very, very frequently: Quote (com.apple.preference.displays.MirrorDisplays): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds. When googled, it shows a lot of threads with gpu/display/drivers related issues. Even on real Macs. I've tried removing WhateverGreen.kext (that worked fine in Sierra), but there is no improvement. My graphic card is properly detected with & without whatevergreen.kext. My iGPU is OFF. Clover GPU injection is also always turned OFF. My basic specs: mobo Gigabyte Z97-D3H, cpu i7 4790 cpu , gpu MSI R9 380 4gb. I use SMBIOS of iMac 15,1. Everything worked fast & rock solid on Sierra. Any advices appreciated.
