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

[EliteMacx86]

Yes it does sound really good and I think the system is stable now, I've been running it all day and had no issues.

What about cold boot freeze?

Tell me more please, I'm really curious as I do use my iPad as an extended display quite often and can't for the moment

Shouldn't adding this to the config.plist under DeviceProperties:
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) : ig-platform-id : <Data> : 0300923E
then booting into BIOS and enabling iGPU, saving and resetting NVRAM do the trick?

Hold on for now.

Cold boots also, no problem (did several tests), the system is fully stable

Hold on for now.

Just this so that I can use my iPad please

Perfect! Time to have some beer

So, assuming the system is stable now, this thread will be closed and for any other issues, create a separate thread.

We can consider this as closed then, Just to confirm can I edit the BIOS as per the video? So enable XMP etc.

Besides that point I think this thread can be closed now yes

Yes, you can enable XMP now and can also adjust the BIOS settings as per the video which will serve best.

Besides that point I think this thread can be closed now yes

Sounds good!

@gipsy As indicated in your other post, the thread has been reopened. What's the current issue?

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 , the system reboots and MacOS loads to the desktop and a panic report is generated with the error still related to the graphic card...

The thing is that it's totally random. In general, the hack will freeze and reboot only once before getting to the desktop every morning when I boot the Hack. However, yesterday the Hack booted straight to desktop without any issue but today it rebooted twice before finally getting to the desktop.

It's been a while I didn't boot Windows but I never had such an issue booting it so far so I guess it must be either something that still needs to be tweaked in the plist or in BIOS?

I have attached PR files which includes BIOS settings and I hope you can nail the issue

Let me know if there is any additional info you might need, thanks!

That's cool.

Flash the VBIOS of the card.
If it does indicate the TB, there shouldn't be a KP related to Graphics.

Totally, unfortunately, i don't own this Motherboard. Try to flash the latest BIOS and then monitor.

I think so.

Upon checking, here are the following issues.

The SSDT loading order is not correct. The order should be like follows.

SSDT-AWAC.aml
SSDT-EC-USBX.aml
SSDT-DTGP.aml
SSDT-TB3HP.aml
SSDT-PLUG.aml

Your SSDT is not from the original OC package. Delete SSDT-AWAC and SSDT-EC-USBX. Acquire both the SSDTs from the OpenCore package.

Also, disable Rename PEGP to GFX0 (Graphics) rename.

Is the Card overclocked?
Are you using any sort of Adapters for display?

The rest looks good.

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 Hackintool when creating USBPorts.kext; I'll never to the ones in OC package and disable the graphics renaming.

Bought the card used on Ebay but the buyer told me it had not been overclocked and no adapters are used; the display is connected directly to the graphic card with a DisplayPort cable. Also I could try to flash the VBIOS but it seem old (2019) and the motherboard'a BIOS is the latest one
