Administrators Hervé Posted November 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2017 You can use HWMonitor app (calls on FakeSMC Plugins) to verify if nVidia GPU remains turned off after wake from sleep. In SSDT-12, it's most definitely turned off at startup through the _INI method of device SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP: Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) // _INI: Initialize { Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR) _OFF () } I've not seen calls to turn it On or Off after wake in the DSDT.

In SSDT-12, it's most definitely turned off at startup through the _INI method of device SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP I've not seen calls to turn it On or Off after wake in the DSDT. I installed FakeSMC 6.26 with all plugins and HWMonitor, but I do no see anything about GPU in HWMonitor. I can only verify that main FakeSMC kext is loaded, but I have no idea if plugins are loaded or not. $ kextstat | grep Fake 42 2 0xffffff7f8332d000 0x11000 0x11000 org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC (1765) 9EEC6103-EEBA-34B3-B9AF-8FE333C43E90 <11 7 5 4 3 1> Should I see all 5 kext loaded with kextstat or only main one? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2017 Your grep command filters for a kext containing "Fake" in its name... Is it the case for the names of the PlugIns? PlugIns are kexts just like any other driver. You should see them loaded (or not) in your SysProfiler->Software->Extensions section. But rest assured that they are loaded or HWMonitor would not show the info it currently does. If you see no GPU entry in the T° section of HWMonitor at any time, even after waking the laptop, it's pretty safe to say your nVidia dGPU is fully disabled; permanently.

viking1304 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 All file names start with FakeSMC. I do not see any of FakeSMC kexts by name in Extensions. Any advice? All 5 kexs are in Other folder in Clover on EFI partition as advised by RehabMan in some posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's because you inject those through the Clover EFI folder, not cache them through /L/E (or /S/L/E) which is better... This being said, there's nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshotde Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I tried all combinations of boot packs and config files. I always get the error: service only ran for 0 seconds. pushing respawn out by 10 seconds I attached my origin folder. Can you please lead me to the solution? origin.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 18, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Headshotde The files in Origin folder didn't show it has a discrete graphics card, so you're using the wrong files. Replace the files in /EFI/Clover with the contents from this If you need more help, please open new thread for E7450 with HD 5500 only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
