Sierra & Safari: Freezing and reboot!

[mgstan]

I have a bit of a weird one. I'm running into the Sierra Safari freeze bug affecting HD4400/4600 users except I'm using an HD4000. It only freezes when visiting the offending pages in Safari and I've confirmed that the bug doesn't appear when I switch to my discrete GPU only (I have to enable iGPU because of the AMD sleep issues). None of the Kext patches suggested work. I've searched high and low and haven't found anyone else running into this on an HD4000. I'm not sure what patch I need to disable intel accelerator on the 4000. My IORegistry is attached.

Specs:
MOBO: asrock z77 extreme 4
CPU: i5 3570k
iGPU: intel HD4000 (1080p)
discrete GPU: AMD r9 280

Intel HD 4000 doesn't have the freeze problem that i know of anyway. Take a look at this. [README] Common (some unsolved) Problems in 10.12 Sierra ...

Try disabling internal GPU - solved for me

 

[kikomann]

SOLVED for me.
Doing the Clover find and replace of the AppleIntelFramebufferAzul

Thanks, very useful.

It seem's to work!!

This in clover:

--> Kexttopatch



Name: AppleIntelFramebufferAzul

Find: 48898BA8000000

Replace: 90909090909090

Comment: isolate IntelAccelerator HD4600 (10.11.6 & 10.12

MatchOS: 10.12.x



Feedback pls

I just absolutely LOVE YOU!!!
Was going mad with this, even tested the RAM. THANKS!!!

I was having this issue for the longest time.
Sierra OSX has been the smoothest install out of any that I have had.
Since I have a Intel HD4600; I simply went into my BIOS & disabled it.
Problem Solved.

OSX 10.12.3
GTX970
Nvidia Manager Patch 367.15.10.35f01

Yep that is normal. Your using dedicated Graphics so you shouldn't have any problems with Safari.

Hi, I'm the guy from ****** mentioned in posts 5, 12 and 35. I'm looking back at the issue because of 10.12.4 and I'd like to know more about the solution given in post 20.
In my own post I came to the conclusion that I could get an easy fix by disabling intel processor graphics from the BIOS.
Does the solution provided in post 20 is supposed to work with inject intel set as true? In other words making the HD4600 usable with no crashes and freezes?

In post 44 someone says that you have to set inject intel as false, but setting it as false has the same effect as disabling intel processor graphics in the BIOS in other words getting rid of intel graphics altogether which also means that the fix of post 20 serves no purpose at all.

So is it really supposed to make the HD4600 work alongside your dedicated GPU?

The freeze problem with 10.12.4 is back !!!

We need a new solution!

No. There is no point having onboard IGPU along with a dedicated card that just works out of the box. It is pointless better to just disable IGPU and just use dedicated or better still go back to 10.11.6.
