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.

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)

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.
