Nearly frozen Hackintosh. Photos.app problem?

[torifile]

I successfully built my hackintosh over the past several days. It has been running great until tonight. The computer became so unresponsive that the only way for me to even restart was to hit the reset button on my computer. After a couple of reboots, I narrowed it down to being a problem when Photos.app is running.

OS: High Sierra 10.13.6
MB: ASUS ROG z370-e
CPU: i8700k
GPU: RX 580
RAM: 16 gig Crucial
HD: Samsung Evo 850 gig (boot drive), WD 4TB 7200 RPM drive (data)

I'm running video through HDMI to my 1080p monitor. Only KB/mouse connected right now. Any ideas? And, I'd put money on the problem being Photos.app.

Check post #408 and post #471 on Idling for 10 minutes causes Sierra to lag/freeze for a couple of minutes for possible solution.

Thanks for the reply. But it’s not that. My computer was idle all night and it was fine this morning. And when it lags, it’s essentially unresponsive except for the mouse cursor moving until I reboot.
