No idea without seeing what you're doing. You must have something wrong...

No.

But you're probably doing something wrong with regard to ACPI.

Post details.
 
Almost there!

I have followed your interesting discussion and learned a lot. Thank you very much.

I am using a very similar laptop (Aver V3-371-58DJ) with fullhd screen, i5 5200, 8 gb ram and 240 ssd. I have managed to get the system up and running using clover to boot from usb stick.
What I did so far:
Brightness: oob (brightness slider from appstore)
Appstore: use en0 for ethernet
Battery: use RehabMan-Battery-2015-0123
Fix garbled screen - set ScreenResolution in the clover gui section to 1024x768
Fix some boot problems with NeverHibernate in clover boot section
For sound I tried voodoohda, but the result is horrible.

Of course the buildin wireless (intel) does not work, so I am using a USB stick. Ethernet works fine.

The update from 10.10.3 to 10.10.4 went smooth.

At the moment, I have problems with wake from sleep. I hope to attack that with a proper DSDT.
Also I cannot get dual boot from ssd set up. I think I have to do some more reading on that.

As soon as I get the DSDT up and running I will post again.

Use appleHDA its very nice and fairly easy to get it working :)

My DSDT extracted ok and had no errors, the patching was therefore very easy...

appstore? That is where you get your mac updates :)

I will try to extract the DSDT later and keep you updated.

I have just installed dual boot. That was easy.
Now I will try my luck with DSDT.

This thing almost feels like a Mac now.
 
I have found some more valuable information here:

I have created a DSDT that loads fine. Sound works ok with voodoohda mentioned in the above thread.

I was missing some gestures on touch pad. BetterTouch tool is a great tool, and even supplies three finger swipes.

One thing I cannot get to work is sleep/wake. The system does not wake up but reboots as soon as I wake it up. I created a SSDT with ssdtPRGen15.7beta3_unoffical.sh_, but I can't get it to load. Unfortunately there is no error message, the system crashes as soon as I try to enable this SSDT.

@Kinutsk: could you upload your SSDT? As we both use the same CPU and mainboard I would love to try that. Thank you.

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,
Code: 
if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Also, post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

And output from:
Code: 
kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc

Also, post EFI/Clover folder.
