Idling for 10 minutes causes Sierra to lag/freeze for a couple of minutes

[jminiman]

One small caveat: screen saver does cause IOGraphicsAccelerator2 kernel faults and about 5 seconds of system non-response upon wake up. Annoying but not as bad as what was there before.

Even with a patched ACPI, I am getting this issue (about 640 instances of kernel faults when screen saver runs for 10 minutes). See IOReg attached.

Im not on the machine right now. I will post my config later on today. It needs to be running after 10 minutes or for 10 minutes or more?

Correction. Even with screen saver disabled, upon 5 minutes of system idle, I get hundreds of kernel faults. Here's what I'm seeing in Console right before the kernel faults:

After much testing I'm getting the same and although the freezes are not as often as they used to be they are still there

I don't know if it's a combination of things. When I disabled Intel injection in clover I thought it might be that, I had done a bunch of other things before. One of those things was to completely disable photos. Photo library, photo stream and photo sharing. Once it was all disabled I deleted all my photos.
Now I don't get anymore graphics errors in console.
The machine works just fine and idle works without issue.
When jminiman mentioned that it might be the injection I re-enabled photos and the issue came back.
Worth a try, I don't use photos on the Mac anyways. I have my iPhone iPad and MacBook for that.

 

[Wolfie81]

Im thinking it's related to photos. Just need more testing.

When I delete the library, it does not crash. When I rebuild the library from a time machine restore, soon after when it idles it crashes..

Can someone try replicate this?

Edit: Fits into the narrative of me thinking it was SSD related, as the secondary SSD is where I store photos library.

Photos app works fine for me on my Z97-HD3. Inject intel wouldn't make much different. I think your problem is graphics. Remember HD 4600 has problems in macOS i.e lock ups.

Patching ACPI will not make much difference. Looks like a problem with Graphics. No solution unless you buy a GPU that is native with OS X/macOS.

Have you tested with 10.11.6 yet?

 

[demonknight9]

Have you tested with 10.11.6 yet?

Not yet, it's working fine now. I think my main issue was adding a video to photos while on holiday that was recorded with my DSLR.
The video codec is not standard and I think when it goes on standby it works my photos library trying to decode it.
At least thats my theory. When photos is disabled I have no freezes.
