[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I was for a few months, happily using n-d-k. Now I'm on Clover as I might have accidentally destroyed my home folder :shifty: and had to reinstall 10.15.4, and I conveniently had a backup Clover USB with the same serial lying around, so I just used that one.
 

I've been troubleshooting this problem, and I've been checking the GND pin on the chip, maybe there was a soldering issue there. Tested the ground loop with another GND on the case, looks like there's an interruption there.

Checked the GND pin of the BIOS chip after that, ground loop works.

After that, BIOS has reset and after reverting the BIOS settings to the ones you specified in the guide, macOS won't start anymore and gets stuck at
"End RandomSeed
++++++++++++++++"

Any idea what might be causing this?
 
@CaseySJ & company saw there was an addition to post #1 for fresh install for 10.15.4 is there any "Need to Know's" prior to upgrading? Outside of updating Clover & current kexts and from what I saw making sure to have Native NVRAM by unlocking MSR 0xE2, which I believe I did a while ago to get Native NVRAM
Or has anyone encountered any problems with 10.15.4? Im hoping its fixed the facial scan in the background from 10.15.3 to reactivate my photos library.
At the top of the 10.15.4 mini-guide I've posted a link to a MacRumors article that describes a system crash problem that many real Mac owners are experiencing. It might be a good idea to wait for a 10.15.4 hot fix.
 
@FormerUser-50757,

When we select Load Optimized Defaults, IOAPIC 24-119 Entries is automatically set to Enabled. Did you have to Disable it to obtain system stability?
 
Hi Everyone,

Wondering if anyone's seen this issue before. Twice tonight I've had my system video freeze on all three monitors. In both cases the system is still working as I was video chatting with someone while doing some guitar/bass recording work in Cubase and they could see and hear me. Based on the report below it looks like com.apple.WindowServer is locking up.

The system rebooted itself after a bit and the report had these (first three lines):

panic(cpu 8 caller 0xffffff7f81d12ad5): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from com.apple.WindowServer in 120 seconds
service: com.apple.logd, total successful checkins since load (4970 seconds ago): 498, last successful checkin: 0 seconds ago
service: com.apple.WindowServer, total successful checkins since load (4940 seconds ago): 471, last successful checkin: 120 seconds ago

Any idea what could be happening?

Thanks,
Lam
Is this happening on 10.15.4? If so, do the symptoms match the description here?
 
I have exactly the same problem in pro tools. Just 10 seconds or so. Any news if it’s the solution?
Have you tried toggling the setting in BIOS?
 
Yes. it's a wired Corsair K55 RGB keyboard.
  • If it's connected to a black USB 2.0 port on the back, try moving it to a blue/yellow/red USB 3.x port temporarily.
  • Also check if your CLOVER/drivers/UEFI folder contains UsbKbDxe.efi.
    • If it exists, temporarily remove it and reboot.
    • It if does not exist, add it to the folder and reboot.

Just update your clover version and you are good to go.
This is for Asus X99 Deluxe-II. Updating Clover alone was not sufficient, but I haven't spent much time (yet) to resolve it.
 
@CaseySJ Did you manage to take a look at this?

I hope the firmware installed properly. It did say VERIFIED at the end.
The IORegistryExplorer screenshot does not look correct. Under RP05 you should see the following (in the absence of any connected Thunderbolt device):

Suggestions:
  1. Do not use the "search" field in IORegistryExplorer. Just scroll the device tree on left side until you see RP05. Do you still see a reduced list of devices compared with screenshot above?
  2. Confirm that CLOVER/ACPI/patched no longer contains the file: SSDT-Z390-DESIGNARE-TB3HP-V4.aml
  3. Re-read the Winbond chip with Raspberry Pi three times, compute checksums three times, and see if they match the checksum of DESIGNARE-Z390-NVM33-Elias64Fr.bin (shown below)
Bash:
% shasum DESIGNARE-Z390-NVM33-Elias64Fr.bin
edbbe3cbf8e3fa4a9d991e0681f2a5702b248224  DESIGNARE-Z390-NVM33-Elias64Fr.bin

@CaseySJ or does anybody, just cosmetic but how do I now get rid of some of the Boot Picker entries on OC?
I have a few numerous one's showing up now and for some reason an old rogue 12.3.6 Recovery has appeared from somewhere and I can't seem to get rid..:think:
The answer to this depends on the types of Picker entries you're trying to hide. There's a difference between hiding entries from the Picker and deleting phantom entries (where the actual target no longer exists).

I would start by clearing NVRAM.

Then we can use Security --> ScanPolicy to instruct OpenCore to include or exclude various types of disk volumes. The OpenCore Configuration.pdf contains complete details. On Page 32 of the 0.5.6 manual (I haven't downloaded 0.5.7 yet) we see this:

Just add (or boolean OR) any combination of these numbers to define a custom ScanPolicy.
