Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well.
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5570 w/ i5-8250u and 16GB RAM w/ 256gb of M.2 and 2.5 inch SSD. I have macOS Catalina installed (OpenCore) that I use mainly for DJ-ing and it works well (very laggy under Windows but that's another topic), except I have an issue with restarting, where 1/2000 chances will the computer actually restart from macOS (I do not have the problem in Windows, and yes I dual-boot), if not it completely shuts down and won't POST until I open up the laptop and remove the battery connector for about 10 seconds then plug it in. With the touchpad too it only works as a right-click when I'm using the buttons on the touchpad unless I connect a mouse or double-tap (this prevents me from dragging and dropping).
Not sure if that has to do with NVRAM or something but I will gladly accept any help. Here is my EFI in case you need any info. I am using Mateo's EFI as it's the only EFI that boots successfully on my system (was a Catalina EFI when I downloaded it)
EDIT: I have already done BIOS editing and tried Mojave/High Sierra and still get the same issue. I haven't tried Clover yet (tried on High Sierra but a bunch of stuff didn't work) but I'll try again with Catalina. I also can't use Big Sur yet because the DJ software I use doesn't officially support Big Sur yet (well it kinda does but it's in its early beta stages) here is the link
