[Success] b1's "Mac Mini Killer" with macOS Mojave: i7-8700 | Gigabyte Z370N | RX560 | 16GB RAM

Hm... I would also try to make a new boot flash drive and reinstall Clover.

If it will not help, then, as @inarush suggested, I would troubleshoot hardware: 970 Pro, RAM.

Thank you b166ar! How can I troubleshoot the hardware? Thanks for your time and support.

The best way is to try another SSD and memory. I would start from SSD.

Clover ▸ v2.4k 4813
Lilu ▸ 1.2.9
WhateverGreen ▸ 1.2.5
AppleALC ▸ 1.3.4

The easiest way to update Clover:
1. Backup your config.plist;
2. Download my current EFI folder;
3. Replace your EFI with my EFI;
4. Delete my config.plist and use your config.plist instead.

Kexts:
1. Navigate to downloaded Kexts for LE folder in Terminal;
2. Run command to copy kexts from to L/E;

sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions

3. Then, rebuild kext cache:

sudo kextcache -i /

Wow - I am confused as to where to start here..

I haven't done a Hack in a few years, but my gaming HTPC is essentially identical to your hardware OP, but Lilu and WhateverGreen are all new concepts since I've been out of the game..

So you made your own Clover installer USB?
You recommend a particular guide for doing that correctly?

I tried to post a link to one at H*ckintosher, but the forum won't let me include it for some reason..

Sorry for the seemingly dumbass question - just feeling strangely confused after my time away from the Hack scene
(trying to wrap my head around step 1 and start getting up to speed here)

1. From now my config will support only z370n with external GPUs. I disabled all patches that are used for iGPU;
2. I disabled Audio patches. Z370n works fine without them;
3. config.plist ▸ Devices ▸ IntelFGX = 0×3E928086 (value for i5/i7 CPUs, before it was 0×3E918086 for i3);
4. config.plist ▸ Graphics ▸ ig-platform-id = 0x3E920003 (actual for external GPUs);
5. config.plist made from scratch.

Lilu ▸ 1.3.1
WhateverGreen ▸ 1.2.6

You need to make usual macOS boot drive and install Clover on it.

You recommend a particular guide for doing that correctly?

Search for any build base on your motherboard and GPU combo, and follow that guide. This thread is only for Z370n motherboard

?
That's what I have!
Nearly exact same hardware as you actually (different case though)

(Sorry if you saw my old signature - I forgot to update that)

Is the Sleep function still working with your current configuration?

Mine is waking up at some point after sleep and freezing the whole system, requiring a full shut down at the case switch to come back.

Works fine. Run the script, I will check.

Thanks a lot! It happened again, so I'm definitely attaching the file. Please take a look when you have a chance.

I was wondering if by any chance you saw this post? https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-lilu-and-its-plug-ins.260063/post-1805653. It look like Lilu 1.3.0 is breaking some plugins that are dependent on version 1.2.x...
