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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/333302-high-sierra-10133-freeze-problem/ 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.
