Today I have down all of my usb ports again, total randomly. Can anybody suggest me please with this issue?

 

Looks like system works but no chance to press any buttons on keyboard or mouse.

 

Hold power button to shutting down PC thats all I can do after this but with this method all my unsaved works is gone too unfortunately

 

Using OpenCore 0.6.0.

That was the reason I ditched the Aorus Pro  try disconnecting the case’s usb panel from the internal header and keep an eye. Heard people using this workaround successfully.

My Z390 Aorus Pro suffers from exactly the same problem.
Sometimes everything is fine for days and suddenly all USB devices are disconnected. For me only a reboot helps.

Does anyone know if this problem also exists under Windows? Otherwise I would create a bug report at Gigabyte.

Thanks for the tips! When it's happening again I'll try to disconnecting the front usb cabels.

 

P.S. what exact mobo you chosen instead of Pro?

Yeah! This happened one time in Windows too for me.

Hey guys,

what would be the best way to disable the onboard sound card? my audio device list is cluttered and I never use on board anyway

[laxattack]

has anyone done the update to 10.15.7?

***EDIT: To answer my own question, I did and other than my previous issues(The update installer doesn't like my 5700XT and I have to put in a different card) the update went through fine.

I just did & it works fine, although I can't speak to any updates to how it works with a 5700 XT (as the fruit company meant to address in this update in one of their real compies), because I don't have that graphics card. With the graphics card listed in my .sig below, works as it did (with a game & LuxMark) so far; I'll update if I run into any trouble. WiFi (the other thing the fruit company says it addressed) also seems unchanged, but I mostly used it for Continuity and such, not massive downloads or anything.

updated and works perfect ...i am with RX 5700 XT.

Hey did you know thats BIOS setting for Windows and MacOc is not the same and YT videos are presented settings for Windows, did you?

No was unaware, I don’t have a K cpu at the moment

So you can’t use hackintosh BIOS settings and then just apply windows applicable overclock settings?

Unfortunately no, system is crashing and reboot after this

I think at this point no one should be relying on @AudioGod to provide EFI's for our systems. He provided us with an excellent base with basic correct configurations, kexts, SSDTs, and mobo settings, and I for one will always be grateful for that. If you are hackintoshing, you should have some basic level of experience with editing config lists and adding kexts, etc. Every system will be different and you will have to tweak these for your system anyway. For instance, I have a PCI card with my WiFi that has to have specific kexts and configs that are not in AudioGod's EFI.

 

I also always keep my kexts up to date with Hackintool. I consider this to be an indispensable app. It can do and show you so much.

 

Not sure about Clover at this point, but with OpenCore (OC), you just need to see what additions or changes have happened since the last version and match that to what you have currently. OC always provides a "Differences.pdf" document and a sample config.plist. OC isn’t changing that dramatically between revisions at this point. They are just making tweaks and fixes for new OSes.

 

For example. In the update from 060 to 061, I compared my current config.plist with the sample provided with the release to see what changed. You can go line by line with text editor or plist editor like ProperTree, or PListEdit Pro; or with an app like Kaleidoscope or DeltaWalker. There is also an ocvalidate tool that comes with OC. I like to use the Sanity Checker at opencore.slowgeek.com. It quickly shows me what is missing or incorrect. Be aware though! Not everything it says is wrong or incorrect. For instance, it will say:

• EnableWriteUnprotector = Yes but should normally be No

But that is not true for our specific board. Be smart about your choices and always have a back-up. But it is excellent at telling you what is missing.

 

Using Sanity Checker I could see the following were missing from my 060 config:

 

 

Security

ApECID = 0

DmgLoading = Signed

EnablePassword = No

 

ProtocolOverrides

AppleImg4Verification = No

AppleSecureBoot = No

 

So I used PListEdit Pro to add those to my config.

 

Now in my case once, once made these changes I couldn’t boot and got an error. I asked about that specific error on the OpenCore forum and almost immediately got a response that said I needed to change one setting that was already in my config which I reference in a few posts above that was: Misc/Security/SecureBootModel to "Disabled" not "Default. Again, that was based on my specific situation. So a generic EFI wouldn't have helped me.

 

Hopefully this will help my fellow AORUS PRO/PRO WiFi users in the future.

Hello,

encouraged by your post I decided to update to OC 6.1 and all other Kexts. I also updated to 10.15.7, and after all this work I have checked and everything seemed to be working properly. Yesterday I turned on my hackintosh and I noticed two things both spotlight and safari are acting strange, they seem to hang with no reason. I tried to troubleshoot it myself, but I have no clue what might be a cause. I checked OC sanity checker, cleared NVRam. Can anyone help me with my problem? Much appreciated!

[panosru]

I have no such issues with spotlight, I can't tell about safari because I'm using Microsoft Edge, but my sleep functionality is completely messed up after the upgrade. 

 

It wakes on random and then kernel panics and reboots, other times I set it to sleep and although it turns the monitors off, the computer still works and you can't bring monitors up again, you have to press reset or keep power button pressed and boot again. :/

Is anyone having time issues with windows? Time works fine on catalina but when I switch to windows its like the time picks back up from where it left off. I did the UTC thing in regedit but still no fix.

Have you tried to use Hackintool?

Help please 

 

1. I checked my Nvidia for details in Windows and get this info:

 

\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.PEGP

 

PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0101)#PCI(0000)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PCI0)#ACPI(PEG1)#ACPI(PEGP)

 

2. Then I using this github and make this file 'SSDT-NVIDIA.aml' using my details from Windows above (file is attached)

 

3. At this point I need to add something into the OpenCore 0.6.0 (Root->ACPI->Add..) but I don't do this before and do not know what exactly I need to add.

 

Can anybody help me to disable Nvidia slot properly, please?

So, for anyone having similar issue, I found the issue and solution. Today I noticed high load caused by accountsd, I googled that issue and I happened to stumble upon that discussion:

SSDT-NVIDIA.aml.zip

 

In your Opencore config.plist (OC/config.plist), you need to add new entry in the ACPI section for the new file. Originally, your ACPI add section probably looks like this:

		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>NVRAM</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>SSDT-PM.aml</string>
			</dict>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>PM</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>SSDT-PLUG.aml</string>
			</dict>
		</array>

Just add your additional aml file to this array so it looks like this:

		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>NVRAM</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>SSDT-PM.aml</string>
			</dict>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>PM</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>SSDT-PLUG.aml</string>
			</dict>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>DISABLE NVIDIA</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>SSDT-NVIDIA.aml</string>
			</dict>
		</array>

Just make sure that new file is unzipped (should have .aml extension) and put it in your OC/ACPI folder with the other .aml files.

Yep, the same issue. Using sync time manually every time as booting Windows.

Thank you!!!!

I’ll try it tomorrow.

 

UPD: Looks like Nvidia is gone now! Unfortunately sleep works strange, it's wake up immediately after put to sleep machine.

[rockjano]

All I can say is THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THAN K YOU it works. And updated to 10.15.7. I only have some sleep issues but that is OK...

[panosru]

@cyrdroidyes I use hackingtool. I also had high cpu load from accountsd, I just let it do its thing while I went away and then I had no issues but eventually I went back to previous OC version because sleep is not working at all.

 

I saved the new OC EFI that I had just to see what difference there will be when audiogod or anyone else posts a working efi, that way next time I will know where to check. 

 

I had no issue when I was in the OS, the problem was that when I put the computer to sleep the monitors turn off but the computer continue working and is not going to sleep. The worst is that you can't return back to the OS for a proper shutdown, you have to power off or reset the computer.

 

For me it wasn't a random occasion, it was everytime I tried to put the computer to sleep so that was the reason of downgrading to previous OC version.

I'm having an issue where I can't login to facebook. I'm running the opencore Audiogod 19,1 latest build and it has been rock solid in productivity. I am able to run Premiere, FCPX, Resolve, perfectly. I can watch Netflix through a browser, and I can even login to Instagram. I have never been able to login to Facebook though. Not matter if I use Chrome or Safari. Everytime I attempt to sign in, it hangs for a while, then says "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." This has been going on for 3 days. I only recently fully switched over to my Hackintosh so I never tried to sign into Facebook previously. I can however log in through my Macbook and my old iMac without a problem. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

Audio God thanks for the GREAT guide. I'm in 10.15.6 clover version Imac pro 1,1 with a Sapphire RX580 8Gb, Gigabyte Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 and Apollo Twin X. 

Thank you @AudioGod @glasgood @MaLd0n @larabee
