High Sierra Random Freezing

[Thireus]

Sleep disks is checked.

I'm currently suspecting that one. I'll report back.

 

[exark]

On Friday, I cleared out any programs I had running that required kernel extensions to be installed (Little Snitch, Logitech Gaming Software for controlling my mouse). Neither of these had any effect, and in fact the crashes appeared to increase in frequency (once every two hours).

On a whim, I used OnyX to run all the major maintenance tasks (particularly all app and system level caches, as well as dyld cache and rebuild the spotlight database). My system worked fine the rest of the day and then stayed up over the weekend (though the weekend is not abnormal, as the system has appeared to do fine while idled before) - currently at 2d20h uptime. We'll see where it goes from here...

It certainly seems like these are pretty idiosyncratic crashes for all of us - Thireus is getting KPs, thefsb is seeing crashes on high disk load, etc. I'm skeptical we're all having the same problem but it is tempting to find some common connection. Any chance others on the thread did a direct upgrade from El Cap to High Sierra? That's my case and I'm wondering if that's part of my problem...

 

[Thireus]

Could be completely unrelated like you mention indeed.

Any more KPs?

 

[exark]

Yeah, the machine is back to 2-3 crashes/day. I'm dumbfounded. Currently in the process of backing up, and then I'm going to try a fresh install without using a fusion drive.

Thanks itwas! It looks promising! Sorry for my late reply, extremely bussy these days... I will test this bios ASAP. Just to confirm, any random freezes lately?

I owe you a beer (or a dozen), I was thinking about buying a new hack, ga-z68ma-d2h-b3 is a bit old, but worked flawlessly until this problem.

One more question, do you have any sleep/wake problems with your build? I never had any problem, but now I have... Could you post your clover config.plist to compare with mine?

Regards and thanks!

Bios updated. 6 hours of uptime, still early, but im pretty sure that it is solved. It was difficult to get a uptime longer than 15 minutes.

I don't have sleep/wake problems, it works as expected.

the config.plist is basically the clover default config.plist, it just works OOB

I have modified the followings

Thanks! Now, with the bios update, the sleep problem is gone. My clover setup is basically the same, but Macmini5,1 in my case.

Thanks!

Hi,

Another freeze. I will post again if it happens again

 

[hanzfranz]

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
