High Sierra Random Freezing

[blindowl]

i already tried that but not help

I also have this issue (spinning beach ball for a few seconds, then everything freezes. It happens mainly when the computer is under heavy load, eg after a reboot). It seems to be graphics related. When the monitor is disconnected, I have not been able to re-produce the error (so far), connecting via VNC to the machine. Same issue both with HDMI and DVI-D.

Any advice?

Everything is up to date. macOS 10.13.6, latest Clover, latest versions of IntelGraphicsFixup, FakeSMC, Lilu, WhateverGreen.

I give up on the HD 530 too, I'll get a RX 560 GPU and hope it'll work better.

extenal GPU will resolve this issue as I used gtx 750 ti.

I've bough i3 7100 and 2 days there is no freeze with high load testing

I would like to share my experience, as well. I installed Hackintosh for the first time yesterday. I rushed a bit and misclicked "Inject Nvidia" (I believe it said so) and selected both "Inject Nvidia" and "Nvidia Webdrivers" in Multibeast. Only later have I realised that Inject Nvidia is for the last gen graphics cards and was not needed for mine because I have a 10 series one. As soon as I installed Nvidia Web Drivers (downloaded from here), I was able to set the proper refresh rate, both monitors worked.

Here is where I started getting the freeze. I opened the App Store and the whole system froze. I had to manually turn it off and start again. App store remained open upon booting up and my pc kept freezing(I restarted multiple times and it would freeze again). I started the system in safe mode and disabled nvidia graphics drivers. That's when everything worked fine.

I decided to just reinstall and carefully select the correct options(which I should have done from the start of course ). And it just works.

TL;DR:
Had freezes, too. Because (IMO) Selected BOTH Inject Nvidia and Nvidia Web Drivers in Multibeast. System worked fine if Nvidia Drivers were disabled. Reinstalled the whole system and installed Web Drivers only. No freezes.

Hallo,

i have the same problem with High Sierra 10.13.3!! On El Capitan everything was fine. Now random freezes like all of you guys. Sometimes it takes 1-2 ours, sometimes even longer. That´s what i´ve tried so far:
1. updated the Bios to F10E
2. frech install
3. tried different kext versions for the network
but nothing helped!!

I have 2 Machines with the exact same hardware and i am using them as audio workstations. On both machines is an RME RayDat Card installed (PCI), Studiolive 32 Mixer via USB and a Logitech webcam plus mouse and keyboard (usb).

Now comes the curious part!!
I took the hard drive (SSD) out of the computer and put it in the other computer. On this computer i detached all USB hardware except the mouse and keyboard and i don´t had freezes anymore. The uptime is now 5 days!!

Then i came back to the first computer with the ssd and changed the usb port for the Studiolive 32 from a USB2 to USB3 port on the backside. I did not reconnect the webcam. The uptime is now 6 days!!

I'm pretty sure now, that USB is causing the random freezes.
I have only USBInjectAll.kext on my Cloover EFI partition. There are no more USB kext in Library/Extensions.

In my Cloover congig.plist under Boot i have the following line to get all usb ports to work.

uia_exclude=HS05;HS05;HS06;HS07;HS08;HS11;HS12;USR1;USR2;SSP3;SSP4

Thank you for your inspiration. My situation is because I installed USBOverdrive, it will install a USBOverdrive.kext to S/E, after I uninstalled and restarted the system, it has now passed five hours, no freezing appears.

Update at 28/09/2018:

I want to apologize to USBOverdrive. The real reason is that I turned off Time Machine automatic backup.

I'm having the same issues, both on Sierra and High Sierra. Following the idea that was Nvidia-related, I switched to a
Radeon RX 580 8192 MB, who is natively supported, and uninstalled the web drivers. I still have the freezes, which happens most of the time when I'm compiling an application using Android Studio.

So it seems I fixed it. I was always getting freezes when compiling an Android app using Android Studio and sometimes I got one using Parallels, all of them CPU-intensive operations. I disabled Intel Turbo Boost Technology in the BIOS and now everything works fine. I've tried compiling app projects from scratch, what was a guarantee that my system would freeze, and it doesn't anymore.

I'm now using Mojave, btw. Not that it makes any difference, 'cause the freezings happened in Mojave as well as HS and Sierra.

I am losing my damn mind with this issue. My Hackintosh freezes with High Sierra and NEVER froze on Sierra. No hardware changes, no BIOS changes, nothing.

The freeze is a total and instant. Everything locks up, all devices are unusable, and all audio and video completely stop. There is no crash log, so I don't even know where to start digging for details of what was happening at the moment of the freeze. It happens completely without warning and has happened as soon as seconds after boot-up to...running entire 8+ hour days with no freeze at all.

This has been ENORMOUSLY difficult to diagnose and fix. I've been using a Hackintosh for like 6 years, never had a freezing issue, and never had any problem of any kind that was this slippery.

So far the only real thing I've tried was updating the BIOS to the current BIOS (F12), which seemed to work but ultimately that was my imagination. It still randomly freezes the exact same way it has been ever since my update to High Sierra.

Any insight would be amazing. Please.

The same happens with me, but only if using any "iMac smbios", (14,1 / 14,2 / 15,1 / 17,1 etc), using MacPro6,1 everything works normally.
