Radeon VII freezing, Apple driver problem?

[pastrychef]

Not in my case, any other method?

Try launching Console (search using Spotlight) and look for crash logs.

Where exactly? Under crash reports there's nothing about last crashes...

Hmm... I don't know... If there are no crash logs, it's hard to diagnose...

More and more I think it's hardware related, not software... Need to build a new hack...

i don't think it is hardware as you and I are having the same experience but different hardware. Something is strange.

What firmware is your GPU? Check 7:54

I firmly believe it is software not hardware as I see many people have good experience too.

When you reboot after a crash, a window should pop up with a panic log. Copy/paste that here.

What kexts should I 100% make sure are up to date to minimize any GPU errors? For example, what kext are you using for GPU?

Please kindly tell me what should I have?

Thank you in advance!!!

It should work with just the macOS built-in kexts.

Every now and then I get a "HID: Legacy Shim 2" error and the computer won't boot.

I am also noticing that i have 2 "driver" folders.

1 folder named "drivers" and another named "drivers64uefi" Also the kexts inside the folders are similar but different versions.

Any recommendations would be very nice.

Thank you

The legacy shim 2 thing has nothing to do with Radeon VII.

drivers64uefi is no longer used on the latest versions of Clover.

Only you will know what versions of kexts you have installed.

I suggest using the latest version of Clover and kexts.

While not the exact same case, I believe your problem may be due to a similar cause.
Using the wrong Framebuffer also injects undesired clocks/powerplay tables, etc... and can create random screen hangs.
