** Ventura Public Beta #3 Sleep Problem **​

Is you're running Ventura Public Beta #3, please see this post regarding sleep/wake:

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

I found a bug that the CPU load of power process is 100% and can not go to sleep in macOS 13 public beta 3. After research I found the solution: 1. Get into Terminal 2. Execute the command: sudo pmset schedule cancelall 3. Reboot system. (This step must be done, otherwise when you wake up ,the...

Hi guys, I need a bit of assistance here. A power surge took out my Hack's motherboard and I had to replace it with a new one, identical to the previous one (Gigabyte Z390 Designare). I updated the BIOS and performed all BIOS modifications as per build instructions and the computer seems to be working fine with one issue- it does not shut off. Or to be more specific - after shut off it restarts in about 1 second. Sleep/Wake works fine, restart works fine. Any recommendations where to look? My OC version is 0.6.3, running Mojave. Attaching my config.plist if any of you can take a look at it. Thanks in advance.

Something similar happened to me: (shutdown not working) check your BIOS settings , USB power behavior or something like that, ErP? CEC2019?

Did you had a backup of your BIOS Config? You could also try to re-flash the BIOS to clear corrupted settings…

Thanks for the suggestion, but no setting in the power BIOS setting seems to make a difference. It is as if the computer interprets shutdown as restart. I also tried unplugging all peripherals, no difference.

Hello @gainmedialab,

Some questions and suggestions:

• Other than the motherboard, did any other component experience a failure after the power surge?
• Which version of BIOS have you installed on the replacement board?
  • We recommend F9g or F9i. Links to both of these are provided in the spoiler at the top of Post 1 labeled Quick Reference to Mini-Guides and Micro-Guides (section 1)
• When you configured BIOS, do you remember starting with Load Optimized Defaults?
  • If not, let's re-configure BIOS starting with this.
• Are you using the same memory (DIMMs) that were on the original Z390 Designare?
  • How many DIMMs are you using?
  • What is the speed of your memory?
  • Have you tried temporarily disabling XMP Memory Profile in BIOS?

I don't use BT with my Designare Z390 which has the Fenvi FV-T919 card installed. But to see if my hack also had problems with BT, I just checked both Monterey and the latest Ventura public beta to see if my iPhone SE with current iOS would connect via BT. It would pair and for a second or two show "Connected," then immediately disconnect.

If I repeatedly retry to "Connect" the iPhone, it would show "Connected," but instantaneously disconnect.

So I confirm your BT problem with the Designare. I also tried BT with my Z690 Aero G which has a Broadcom BCM94360NG Key A/E M.2 WiFi/BT module replacing the Intel WiFi module and it exhibits the same problem with Big Sur, Monterey, and public beta 3 Ventura. Maybe my iPhone model is a factor.

Since I don't use BT, I don't have time at this point to work the issue.

I'm pretty sure this is a red herring. A Mac and an iPhone have no reason to stay connected via Bluetooth, so they don't. Connecting my iPhone to my MacBookPro yields the same result.

My main beef is with BT crashes after sleep. Worked OK until Monterey. No longer. Why?

Hi.
- No other components in the computer seem to have issues after a power surge. However, an external audio interface that was connected to a USB port on the motherboard was fried as well - it has been repaired by the manufacturer and tested on 2 machines. In terms of internal computer components, nothing seems damaged - was also tested by a computer service that swapped my motherboard.
- I am using F9i version of BIOS, downloaded and setup from the mini guide on this thread.
- Yes, I used Load Optimized Defaults. Also tried reconfiguring by loading optimized defaults and re-applying all tweaks. No change.
- Yes, I am using the same DIMMs from the original Z390. I am using 4 DIMMs, 16Gb each, at 3000MHz. I have also tried disabling the XMP Memory Profile in BIOS, same result.
During some additional testing I noticed that I was having some audio stutter drops and noises with the new setup. They went away when I moved the USB cable to the interface from a USB 2.0 to a USB3.1 port on the motherboard. I am almost positive that I had no issues with using the USB 2.0 port for the audio interface on the previous setup.

Recently updated to Monterey and had the same issue after long sleep. USBwakefixup.kext was the culprit. This kext fixes the black screen after wake issue but also munges the BT on Monterey. Try removing it. The side effect is that you will have to tap your mouse or keyboard twice on wake. The first tap will wake to a black screen. Second tap will enable the screen.

Have you also tried:

• Reset NVRAM
• CMOS Reset (this requires us to configure BIOS parameters again)

It may also be helpful to look at the startup section of boot log, by typing this in Terminal:

log show --last boot | head -1500 > ~/Documents/bootlog.txt

This will create a file in Documents folder called bootlog.txt. Simply post that file.
