Idling for 10 minutes causes Sierra to lag/freeze for a couple of minutes

[dracon]

I seem to be having a similar issue. Randomly, the system seems to freeze up. I can move the cursor around but I can't select anything. After about 10 second or so everything starts working again. When I do click on things, it seems like it's queuing up with the clicks because when it unfreezes it clicks on everything I clicked on when it was frozen.

Any idea what's going on?

I have the Intel GPU completely disabled in the BIOS as I'm using an external card.

It's not in the bios. Makes no difference wether you have it enabled in the bios or not. Disable injection in clover. Launch clover and mount the EFI partition, then go into graphics and disable Intel injection.
I still can't believe this was the issue but believe it or not it is and it has fixed my hack!

It was already done originally.

Samsung 850 EVO 1TB

Attached is my CLOVER folder and IOREG output to see if maybe it's something else.

Patched DSDT and SSDT in the patched folder and original DSDT, etc in the origin folder. Maybe I have a mis-patched DSDT and it could be done better.

Yes it is! Intel GPU injection is the reason this was all happening. I disabled it a few days ago and I haven't had a freeze since then.
Thanks to everyone that helped!

One small caveat: screen saver does cause IOGraphicsAccelerator2 kernel faults and about 5 seconds of system non-response upon wake up. Annoying but not as bad as what was there before.

Mind attaching your Clover config (minus serial number)?
