Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

If the system keeps booting into BIOS, it may indicate that BIOS flashback has occurred. This problem should be reported to Gigabyte.

It would also be advisable to try the process of elimination by disconnecting all non-essential components including Commander Pro (just disconnect it from USB, but keep the fans connected).

Eventually, of course, it may be necessary to exchange the board. But the problem should be reported to Gigabyte Tech Support via the online problem reporting site.

Apologies, I know that I have raised this issue before but does anyone else experience regular system hangs at the Gigabyte Splash Screen. The only method of recovery may be one or more attempts at Reset, or Power Down and Reboot.

Once I have managed a successful boot with Windows, Catalina or Big Sur, my system seems stable and reliable with no crashes or instability. Then there may be a number of successful boot ups until the next time there is a hang at the Gigabyte Splash Screen when the cycle repeats.

This is unusual and should be investigated. Some suggestions:

• Verify the OpenCore configuration if it is different from the standard EFI zip files in this guide.
• Some NVMe SSDs (e.g. WD SN750, SK Hynix P31 Gold) may cause various problems.
• Some Thunderbolt devices may be to blame.
• Try the Process of Elimination by removing or replacing components. For example:
  • We cannot remove memory, but if we have 2 or more DIMMs, we can remove all but one.
  • If you have a different GPU (such as RX 580 for example), try that instead.
  • Disconnect Thunderbolt devices.
  • Unplug the Windows drive.

Thanks again for your advice.

This problem is driving me mad as once I have a successful boot, all is well.

I will try your suggestions.

I am using Corsair MP600 NVMe for Windows and Catalina. Are you aware if anyone else has tried these and had problems?

I do not have any Thunderbolt devices.

The only other mention of Corsair MP600 is in the post below, but it's working fine. He did, however, need to verify that BIOS --> SATA Configuration was set to AHCI.

I guess I'll try doing a fresh install this weekend on a spare drive and see if sleep starts to work then. BTW, does it matter what fan profile I set in the BIOS? Or does the MacOS always do its own thing after booting? I wave the white flag of surrender. :banghead: I removed all my drives and...

We should not use Migration Assistant because it copies kernel extensions and other legacy files. It would be good to either follow the Sleep Aid (please see Quick Reference spoiler at the top of the Z390 Designare build guide -- "Troubleshooting" section) or restore from the bootable backup and manually transfer files and applications from the previous system.

I checked the suggested quick reference and this:

A more comprehensive guide to fixing sleep/wake problems has been posted here.

No change

@CaseySJ after a fresh install I did not do use Migration Assistant and this made it pretty much impossible to install apps that I have spent years creating a work flow that fit my processes, I continued to have the same problems, sleep, no backup, no access to the App Store and more. I know that sleep is the only issue that can be addressed here. Next step is creating a new installer USB. Maybe tomorrow. If the problems that presently exist are resolved with a new USB, Mt next move will be to only migrate my apps folder. Be well.

I am having the same issue but only on restart and only if I perform the restart from MacOs. It will restart then will hang on the Gigabyte logo splash screen and the various options (F12, etc.) displayed at the bottom of the screen. Only solution is to power off then power on and then boot is ok.
If I boot windows 10 from OC then restart, no problem at all. Gigabyte logo is displayed along with the options at the bottom of the screen, options disappear, OC boot picker/icons are displayed and everything is fine. I can boot again windows 10 then restart and it will work 100% of the time. I have not figure out what the issue is.

I just connected my Apple wired keyboard and Fn-F3 and Fn-F4 are okay. In Firefox, for example, Fn-F3 opens the Find box at the bottom of the window. Have you tried Fn-F3 and Fn-F4 in other applications, including Firefox?

Yup.. f3 and f4 aren´t working in any application... It´s weird, they work perfectly in windows and they do work with the special functions (mission control and app launcher) u.u

I've put my PC to sleep about 50 mins ago, suddenly it wakes up for like 20-30 seconds and goes back into sleep by itself
This happened to anyone else?

Perfectly normal. This is a maintenance wake where macOS is checking for notifications, emails, reminders, etc.
