Hello Guys,
I have a mysterious problem with my Hackintosh.
Its currently running 10.4.4 but the problem also exists in 10.4.1..2..3.
Whats happening:
Every time the "Crash" happens the monitor flickers/flashes 1 frame of random noise (sometimes no noise), than goes Black or to sleep.
The fan on the GPU will sometimes ramp up to 100% speed.
If audio/video is playing it will keep playing without looping, just like normal, i can still hear it, BUT i cannot change the volume on the keyboard or pause the playback, the Hackintosh is like frozen with still fine playing audio.
If the crash occurs, i can not remote in to it via the remote desktop from a other mac.
I can only reboot via reset button or by using the PSU switch. Sometimes the reset switch does not help,
the GPU fans will still be running 100% and i will still have a black screen.
Occurence:
Sometimes idle (while only monitor sleep but still programs open)
sometimes while watching Youtube with chrome,
sometimes while watching Netflix with safari,
i did not experience the crash while luxmark did a benchmark, i also tried to run the benchmark several times to rule out any thermal/PSU issues
Timeframe:1h after boot, somtimes the PC is running 1-2 days and does not experience the problem
What i have tried to resolve the problem? (Hardware):I have swapped my Saphire Vega 56 with my friend. He has a Saphire RX580 and he uses Windows.
He didn't experience the same issues, all was fine. Strangely i didn't experience any crashes while i had the RX580 installed.
I also have windows installed and there my Vega 56 works fine and i don't have crashes,
but i only run windows for gaming and i only game 1-2h.
I was thinking it must be a hardware issue, but i ruled that out by swapping the card for 1-2 weeks.
So a software problem?
What i have tried to resolve the problem? (Software):When i first encountered the fault i was running 10.4.1 with VegaTab config injection and WEG/Lilu.
So i tried several things.
Without WEG ->same
Without VegaTab ->same
With VegaTab Underclocked to -100mhz ->same
With UHD630 -> same (also breaks DRM so no good)
With Radeondeinit -> same
This happened over a timeframe of weeks/month. So a new update was available and i updated and tried the same things. ->same
Now i am on 10.4.4 and i still have this issue
Whats Working?:everything
BT/Wifi (Airport Card)
Ethernet
Sleep
Audio (and HDMI audio but i don't use that)
iCloud
DRM
HW encoder
jpeg preview/quicklook
USB
Whats not Working?:the bug/crash
2 USB ports, but that's a onboard header that i don't use.
So i am struggling to finde the issue and i need help, i am all out of ideas, google does not help, seemingly nobody is having the same problem.What should i try next? What files are needed for somebody to diagnose the problem?
I am sick of this, all is working so good, only this stupid problem.
