Please help...

Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7, 64 gig RAM, 9900k CPU, Radeon 580
Working stable for years...

Suddenly my desktop stopped booting into OS X...
Initial determination, it was a dead power supply.
Swapped out power supply

THEN

System boots only for around 5-6 mins.
Thought it was thermal issue with AIO Corsair H60
replaced that

THEN

System still only boots for around 5-6 mins
did clean install to SSD (it was able to install this for some reason)

NOW

Still only booting for around 5-6 mins

Testing RAM now...

RAM passed tests

Changed EFI to the one here, but boot still failed

Unsure what else to do...

the point that it crashes is at some point after login..

Sometimes it makes it to desktop, sometimes just reboots...

Do you mean a new interface by UAD? I haven't heard anything.

Hi there,
If you also have the same graphics card, than, yeah, it should be possible without editing. Keep in mind that the config.plist comes without a serial number, etc.

Hmm, honestly, no clue.
If you think it could be hardware related, than I would disconnect everything you don't really need for booting and replace (if possible) some the parts like RAM, Graphics card, HDD...

You also could test it with Linux live, or if you got a spare hard disk install Linux on it, and see if you get the same issue.

My EFI doesn't come with the latest OC, but it would also be worth a try.

UAD software support for Big Sur was released last week

https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050791811-macOS-11-Big-Sur-Compatibility-Info

But a lot of software is a "wait before upgrade" situation - quite a good set of links here

https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/macos-11-big-sur-compatibility-guide/#n

Digital Performer looks like it requires an upgrade to DP11 to support Big Sur (USD$195 ah joy)

MOTU, macOS Big Sur and the new Apple silicon Macs | News | MOTU.com

motu.com

Waves, NI and Cubase announce support (mostly, if you upgrade)

I‘m using Cubasis 11 with UAD plugins for serveral weeks now, was already stable before their release
I don‘t have any issues with the software I‘m using. System is very stable anyway.

Much thanks for your Guide.
