Noting there is preventing sleep. So it's not a macOS issue. It's either something in your EFI or your BIOS.

After months of perfect sleep, the computer no longer sleeps, but. the display goes dark and will not wake. I'm confused.

Is there anything here?

Thanks in advance, as always.

Changing to the other DP connector doesn't make a difference. I changed to CPU Integrated graphics and switched my monitor to the motherboard's DP. That allowed it to get a little further in booting, and supposedly with the correct settings (looked like a full screen loading at native res). But then it crashed too ultimately.

If you are using IGPU, use the EFI folder r3.5.

Nothing stands out that could break sleep. But, according to your description, going to sleep is not a problem. Waking is the problem.

Have you installed anything new that could have broken wake? Are you on the latest version of macOS and EFI folder? Are you using SSDT for USB?

Actually going to sleep is a problem.....the screen goes black but the computer continues to run. The screen will not come back.

Do you suppose something in my Bios changed? I am on 10.13.6 and using your latest EFI. Also, when I boot from copies that used to work correctly, they no longer do.

thx

Hmm... That's different...

Are you using SSDT for USB?

That looks fine. Does it sleep if you log out of iCloud?

Also, try entering the following in to Terminal and see the output:

pmset -g log | grep -i failure

I've been at it for hours and hours and hours...non-stop. I decided to try one more thing before calling it a night, and somehow that worked.

I turned on a couple of "fixes" in the boot menu. Including "fix video" and "fix headers". I'm not sure which one does the trick. I'll investigate more tomorrow.

It's so wonderful to finally see the 4K retina screen at 60hz!

Interesting. I'll have to try and investigate that myself. But I'm glad you got it working.

It will be worth it! Trust me I should have listened to @pastrychef a long time ago
Also in terms of gaming.. you would be surprised, if your monitor supports FreeSync which is AMD, then the experience is actually sometimes better than with the 1080Ti on my ultra wide monitor since my monitor only has FreeSync

Even the IGP graphics is already ridiculous much much better and smoother than that nVidia cr@p .... Well 3D performance stays behind of course but for just GUI its already a world of difference!

My Hack is just reinstalled. So lets insert the RX VEGA gentle next Monday ;-)
