Any other idea to help me find out where are the panics coming? I think i've done all and I keep having them . I'll try now just to move the RAM sticks to the other two slots

OK, I'm researching by myself, and I'm doing some findings. The most weird is related to the UUID. There's something wrong here. I had to modify the SN and IDs from my motherboard because iMessage wasn't working (I tried OS X over this same machine a couple of years ago, and I maybe did something wrong then).

Today, after another kernel panic, and old session has emerged (where Spotify was set to auto start) and also iCloud is not working (it's asking me to login again). Maybe it is something from Clover not loading correctly?

I think I found the cause and the solution! I modified the S/N and UUIDs to fix iMessage issues I had following some threads in this forum, but maybe I forgot to clean properly all the caches, and there were some leftovers from a different "hardware", and the system was simply going nuts . So I did one thing, all at once: from within Clover Configurator, and with the EFI partition mounted, I updated Clover. Then, I verified both RT Variables and SMBIOS ones. Saved the config.plist again. And then, before ever rebooting, I used Onyx to clean all the system and user caches, and only then I rebooted. Since then, it's working perfectly, without any other Panic! This was one week ago. It's the first time it doesn't crash for a whole week since I installed MacOS! It can also be a long time sleeping and resume correctly.

So, after this nightmare I feel very optimistic about a solution, and I also will start trying again the front USBs from my case, as maybe they are ok too

Thank you Fadis for all your help!

No way . I was so desperate I went back to Windows 10 in this computer, but after a while, I realized I don't want it anymore. I prefer a not-perfect MacOS than a "perfect" Windows 10.

While inside Windows 10, I found there's something weird there too: inside Windows Device Manager, I have a mysterious USB device in compliance mode (described to be precise as: Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance mode) ). I've unplugged all internal USB connections to the case, and all rear connections, including keyboard and mouse. Nothing was plugged to the computer, and it was there yet . So maybe is something wrong inside the mainboard.

Does a DSDT could help somehow? I've found this one here:

I have never used a custom DSDT before, but I think they are very important and risky to use, so I'm afraid I can destroy the system if I do it wrong. Any tips?

They are built (on tonymacx86.com) based on the firmware version "F" number usually. If you're using clover and have UEFI bios, you probably won't need it unless you're trying to get HDMI video or something else a bit more nuanced than just getting the system up and running. I had lots of problems getting my system going too, but just kept searching, reading, researching and figuring out what works.

Now I've got my system overclocked and using variable cpu speeds natively, but still have more to do. Keep reading, and experimenting, you can always restart the process. It's fun!

Have you tried the latest OS (Sierra)? I updated. It's even more stable.
I recommend recording the whole process and sending it to see if anyone can spot an issue.

NM I found them

Hi again Fadis and everybody

Yes, I updated the system to Sierra too, and it works fine now. One thing that helps: disable the Intel GPU in BIOS, but also inside Clover (with Clover Configurator, disable "Inject Intel"). The last crashes I had were because MacOS was trying to use the Intel GPU but it was not there .

Other than that, the system works great, although the "USB 3 randomly working"-issue is still there, but nothing serious, I can totally use and enjoy my machine! .

OMG! I'M SO SORRY GUYS!!!!

My USB injector file is missing one of the USB ports, that's why its probably not perfect for you.

Here is the file

I'M SORRY!!!!
