uXmow Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Hi,I've been suffering from random system hangs. I've just updated to the latest 10.14.5 version of Mojave.But I've been getting them as early as my first hackintosh on High Sierra... (Back then I've used a Nvidia GTX 970)Really frustrating as nothing helped so far.my symptoms: Picture freezes/hangs with the picture visible Audio freezes (no sound or loops) Cannot move the mouse or any other responses. Have to hard reset after such a freeze Totally random, not load related as it can happen when idle, or when just working in chrome etc... sometimes i can last for a day without a freeze and then sometimes it happens every half an hour... my system: Motherboard: Gigabitye Z68AP-D3 (Rev 1.0 w Legacy bios - !NO UEFI!) CPU: Intel i7-2600K GPU: XFX RX 580 8GB Using Display port (other ports causes black screen during boot) RAM: Kingston 16GB DDR3 1333 MHz SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB I've uploaded my updated EFI folder here. Kexts also uploaded here. Installed /Library/Extensions/ All the latest versions. Any help is appreciated Edited May 25, 2019 by uXmow Reuploaded new EFI and Kext folders with Hervé's Config.Plist and ssdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that you have proper CPU power management either. I've generated your CPU-specific SSDT that I would suggest you try out after placing it in ACPI/patched along with the attached revised Clover config. Keep a backup of your current config of course, so that you may recall it easily through Clover options menu if required. ssdt.aml.zip config.plist.zip This being said, XFX cards are known to cause issues in Hackintoshes so it's highly likely that your problems all come from that. Eg: https://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7330 If you can, try another card (Sapphire instead of XFX for instance). Hi Thank you! I know sadly xfx can cause issues but i had this problem since i started using hackintosh with high sierra and with a GTX 970 so that shouldn't be it. I'll try the config plist thank you! Sorry for beeing a n00b... ACPI/patched is in EFI/Clover right? And I just have to copy it there no extra setup needed for it? Sadly for sure i have no CPU power management set up as I have no idea about it... Edited May 21, 2019 by uXmow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uXmow Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 1 minute ago, Hervé said: Yes ACPI/patched is under the Clover folder. You had obviously deleted this from the EFI folder you uploaded so I could not see any extracted tables (found in ACPI/origin if extracted through F4 at Clover menu) nor any patched tables you may already use. yes because it was empty, so nothing was there and the zip I've uploaded was my whole EFI folder. I'm already using your config.plist and the ssdt.aml under ACPI/Patched and so far so good no freezes, but as I've stated in my op it was random so I'm not sure if this already fixed my issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uXmow Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 2 minutes ago, Hervé said: If your FakeSMC kext contains the sensor PlugIns (I did not check), you can use HWMonitor app to keep an eye on things such as temperatures and CPU power management. I highly recommend it. If the PlugIns are not there, you can simply copy them next to your existing add-on kexts or in a PlugIns subfolder inside FakeSMC. These are my only kexts: which plugins should i exactly use? I have the HWMonitor app which can only show SSD temperature at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uXmow Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sadly I still encounter freezes... No special thing to mention about the the temperatures... CPU is usually between 50-65 C Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
