Ive been reading a lot, and a lot of people seem to say that MSI boards in particular have an issue with sleep on hackintoshes.
But is there a way to make it work reliably?
I have a MSI B250 Gaming Pro motherboard with i5 7600k (Intel HD 630), no discrete GPU, only thing plugged into USB is mouse/keyboard. OS is on m.2 SATA drive (not NVMe).
What Id like is anything at all that resembles sleep, meaning OS saves current state and turns "off" the hackintosh. Upon waking up it restores the state. Fundamentally though I dont care if this means making sleep actually be hibernate, or some other state as long as it actually works reliably. So is there a way to do this?
ive read through the Guide for iGPUs and have done everything there, but its unreliable. It seems like if I clean NVRAM then the first sleep will work correctly (at least most of the time), but then its sort of random, it may work again or it may wake up the PC (motheboard lights up), CPU fan spins up, but its actually not coming back (cant ssh in or ping, so its not that just display failed). Sometimes waking from sleep causes kernel panic and it boots as if I pressed the reset button.
If I lock the screen after 1 minute macos will turn off monitor. This works right most of the time (pressing a button on the keyboard wakes it up), but sometimes it wont wake up the screen... (I can ssh in so PC is up just iGPU is not woken), if I then wait another 1 minute (timeout for it to turn off monitor again, even though its already off) and try again... then it wakes monitor up.
Are there maybe specific kexts or tweaks that are needed for MSI boards? I have all BIOS settings correct based on guide, I mapped the USB ports etc... what else can I try?
