    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Long time no posting, here is an update. With XMP disabled all went well for a couple of days but then it started rebooting again on cold boot. After that, I disconnected the PSU for 30 minutes to drain battery and did a new config plist from scratch. Monterey has not rebooted since then so a...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    So the Hack booted straight to desktop without restarting this morning, so that's good. What is annoying is that RAM only runs at 2133Mhz and not 2666Mhz. I bought the following ram and the motherboard advertises that RAM should run at 2666Mhz without overclocking Can I look at the value set...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    hmmm I don't think I can turn it off fully in the ASRock BIOS, it's either auto or profile 1

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    I'm totally aware of this, every panic I've had referred to graphics but we checked everything and the graphic card is working as it should; I've just understood recently that not closing the Mail app causes the graphic panic but this doesn't really make sense I have set XMP to auto in BIOS...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Sure, there it goes On cold boots, OC loads then MacOS starts loading and when the progress bar is at about 1/3 (maybe a bit less) it restarts and then boots to desktop with no issues. After that I have no issues and can restart the Hack and it will always boot to desktop. Sometimes, it...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    OK it seems that the Hack reboots on cold boot only if I don't close apps before shutting down. I still have to nail which app does this but it is either Mail app or Safari but it's weird as I never had something like this before. Is there a Quirk that I need to enable/disable in order to...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    nope currently running 12.2 and 11.2.3 on the same disk. Just checked for errors, no updates Ha but you are still running Big Sur; th Bluetooth mess is a Monterey "feature" xD I think that I won't jump on MacOS 13 later this year.... Love MacOS but the last two, three releases have been quite...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Actually it's on 12.2, I also have 11.2.3 installed but focused on Monterey It's not really intuitive really but now I know hehe That's probably because you are using wired keyboard and mouse. Apple messed up Bluetooth with Monterey working on their next big thing, Universal Control also...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Hi there, I've been testing for 3 days now and didn't have any restarts on cold boot so far, hope I'm not going to jinx it:censored: After some more reading I found an article recommending to check the disk for error; first checking volume, then container, then disk. Even though no errors were...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    I managed to find 11.2.3 and installed it on another volume (same disk), let's see if the reboot also happens when I'll boot Big Sur tomorrow morning. The power wattage is 750w and should be more than enough for my config and everything is properly wired. I actually even changed the power...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Extremely weird and yes I'm starting to think that it is related to Monterey somehow; 12.3 should be out in two weeks, hope it fixes the issue. I don't have a copy of Big Sur 11.2.3 currently, there was a link in Dortania's guide but the image appears to be broken, would you have a link maybe...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Not quite, as expressed after this bit it worked when cold booting after 30 min, 1 hour and two hours but happened again in the morning (Hack was shut down during the night) I know... told you, the forum needs a :banghead: smiley :p Here is a screenshot of CPU-Z, let me know if you need...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Hi there, Still trying to solve the cold boot issue and disabled Thunderbolt in BIOS, disabled SSDT-DTGP.aml, SSDT-TB3HP.aml and the ACPI rename patches and cleared NVRAM for testing. I then shut down the computer for about 30 min and booted again: no panic and the Hack booted to desktop. Did...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    PS: there is no SSDT-AWAC.aml in the OC package but another one:SSDT-AWAC-DISABLE.aml Should I use this one or use the one available on Github or SSDT-RTC0.aml which is in the package and is equivalent to AWAC.aml apparently?

    I'm using the following order, you said it was ok I think ;) SSDT-EC-USBX.am SSDT-AWAC.aml SSDT-PLUG.aml SSDT-DTGP.aml SSDT-TB3HP.aml But I'll change according to your latest recommendations and check True, I extracted them from my system's DSDT and I use the SSDT-EC-USBX generated by...

    Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

    Thanks for reopening the thread, I appreciate. Let's start with the good news: there are no more freezes while the system is in use so that's great! I still have an issue with cold boots where when booting the Hack, OC will load then MacOS starts but the bar under the Apple logo stops loading ...
