CMOS reset on wake from sleep - Tried everything I can find on google

[DrP]

Hi All,

 

Well its time to bite the bullet and seek help as I cannot find a solution to my problem.  I've read multiple topics here on insanelymac and other popular sites that google finds but nothing seems to work for me.  Its weird.  I have tried the following;

1) Number of clover configs with RTCPatch but no luck.

2) I extracted my DSDT and patch RTC different ways but no luck.

3) I have patch AppleRTC.kext and tried in clover others and S/L/E locations with cache rebuilds but no luck.

4) And numerous combinations of the above.

 

Nothing seems to work.  I can get the PC sleep fine.  That's ok.  But when I trigger wake its just a black screen  I have to press the reset button to which in restart the PC goes into a BIOS POST loop indefinately.  Its not until I clear CMOS via mobo pins and reset BIOS settings that the PC behaves normally again.  This mobo used to sleep fine and wake up fine until release of Sierra.  And same issue with High Sierra.  I will attached my clover folder with pre-boot.log dump and original and patched DSDT dumps.  Below are the specs of this hackintosh build.  Looking for any input/advice/help.  Is most appreciated because I'm stuck.  It seems no matter what I do macOS will touch CMOS regardless.  (Note:  I also noticed that I get a black screen with frozen mouse when I log out of a user account to the login screen.  Not sure what that's about either).

 

Clover v2.4k r4700

macOS 10.13.6

CPU: i5 2400

MOBO: GA-H61M-USB3-B3 rev 2.0 BIOS FF

RAM: 8GB

SSD: WD Green SSD

GPU: Nvidia GT610

 

 

In my clover patched DSDT folder you will I have the DSL file as well.  That's so you can see what device (RTC) looked like before I commented out a lot of code.

I had already tried that but gave it a shot again but no go.  Still get corrupt CMOS.  But thanks for helping

This Patch is included into Clover by default, no need to destroy system kexts

maybe this will help?

Thanks Rodion2010.  I have had a quick try but need to enable debug output to find conflicting CMOS memory address space.  Do you know how?  I forget.  Still living pre-Sierra days.  I added boot arg -rtcfxdbg but the system seems unchanged.  I need waking up.

Dont worry.  I figured out how to get debug output now via maclog.  Now to figure out conflicting ranges.  Any help on that welcomed.
