Ongoing sleep issues... Wont sleep for long periods..

[darrenjlobb]

Hi Guys,

After giving up trying to get my High Sierra build to sleep, I have been shutting down over night for the last couple months. But decided to re visit it as its so frustrating after my El Capitan build used to work just fine!

So upgraded to latest version os macos (10.13.2) with no real issues, installed latest NV web driver, and latest verions of apfs / lilu kexts etc.

Running a GTX980TI (EVGA)

I have discovered that if if sleep the compute via the apple menu, it will sleep , wait 30 seconds and will wake just fine...

However if I leave it any period of time sleeping, it wont wake, or at least the system waits, but screens get no signal...The classic issue. Have tried all kinds of things but cant seem to get it to work. But has got me thinking as in my mind once its "sleeping" nothing should change, so how is the period of time effecting things?

Have attached my efi folder and config.plist.

Thanks,

Try this EFI folder.

Be sure to make a backup of your existing EFI folder.

Look in this EFI's /EFI/CLOVER/kext/Other/. Compare with your /Library/Extensions/ folder. If there are any duplicate files, remove the duplicates in your /Library/Extension/.

Launch Terminal and enter:

sudo kextcache -i /

It willl ask for your password. Enter it.

Thanks, will give it a go over lunch.

Can I ask what you have changed to try?

Thanks,

I changed a lot. Lol

Primarily, I added some DSDT patches to rename some of your devices. Changed your system definition. Changed ig-platform-id. Added USB 15 port limit patch.

Edit:
I made one more change. If you downloaded before, download it again.

Gave this a try at lunch today, made a temp EFI on a usb stick incase of any issues.

System booted up fine, and it let me sleep the system , and would wake, so was looking promising....However after coming back to it this evening after being sleeping for 3-4 hours, the problem returns. System wakes up, monitors just flash up no signal, and that is it....

I am running two monitors connected directly to the 980ti via display port...

Are they any bizarre bios options that could be causing an issue? Its so odd how it seems to generally only be after a long period it fails..

Should also add, strangely the very first time I slept the PC with the new EFI, monitors went blank, disks spun down, but then it power cycled / rebooted rather than sleeping, didn't do it since...

Thanks,

Open Terminal and enter the following:

log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"

I think it's USB related. You may have to implement the proper USB fix... Directions can be found at:
