withoutname Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi all! Yesterday my e6530's mobo died... So then I got a e6420, installed successfully. Now my problem is after I leave it alone for about 10 minutes, the screen freezes. Mouse pointer works, caps lock light switches when pushing its button, hdd led shows activity. System specs: Lat E6420, i5 2520m Intel HD3000 VGA only, 12 GB ram, bios a23, OS 10.13.6 with latest security update. Attached my debug log. debug_5415.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2019 Your setup is incorrect in many aspects. 1) Injected kexts: remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. I can only presume it's a pre-patched kext and that's not required with Clover since it patches this on the fly remove AppleBacklightinjector kext; you should not need this with Lilu + WhateverGreen (WEG) remove USB_injector kext; totally useless since it's setup for MBP8,2 when you use MBP8,1 SMBIOS. Use Rehabman's USBInjectAll instead or generate your own SSDT-UIAC table or USBPorts kext with Hackintool app remove DisableTurboBoostBattery unless you really want no CPU Turbo Boost when running on battery (it affects performance quite seriously) BrcmPatchRAM2 and CodecCommander kexts don't normally inject through Clover; these typically require to be cached, preferably from /L/E Ideally, copy all your add-on kexts to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild your cache; caching kexts is much better than injecting them, it's the way drivers are meant to be used. 2) Clover config (use Clover Configurator app to modify): ACPI section clear DropOEM and PluginType; you're dropping SSDTs CpuPm + Cpu0Ist and injecting your i5-2520M specific SSDT for CPU power management and that's all your need Boot section remove kext-dev-mode=1; it does not do any harm but that's an obsolete parameter that was only required for Yosemite... GUI section I'm not sure you really use that Custom Entry of yours; it says "UEFI internal" but E6x20 don't usually boot OS X/macOS with BIOS in UEFI mode. If you operate in BIOS legacy mode, this Custom Entry should go. It seems disabled anyway... Graphics section clear Inject Intel and ig-layout-id; they're not required with Lilu + WEG and your DSDT already injects this too! Kernel & Kexts Patches section clear KernelPm patch; that's for Haswell platform and beyond; not applicable to your Sandy Bridge laptop which uses AICPUPM kext for CPU power management remove all AppleHDA patches; obsolete and useless since you're using Lilu + AppleALC remove IOGraphicsFamily patch; it's the wrong patch for High Sierra and it's obsolete anyway with Lilu + WEG remove AppleBacklight patch; it's useless once you've removed the backlight injector kext as advised above NB: it's disabled but the VRAM patch you've entered does not increase VRAM from 512MB to 1024MB but to 1536MB System Parameters section set kexts injection to Detect 3) Hibernation: Once all the above is done, check your hibernation status and disable it as detailed in the dedicated thread available in our FAQ section. 4) BIOS settings: Check your BIOS parameters and adjust if necessary according to the recommended settings; these are available in a dedicated thread at the top of this very E6xxx support forum section. If in doubt of anything, check this guide. It's for the E6220 but 99% (if not 100%) relevant to the other HD3000-only E6x20 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withoutname Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks for the detailed checklist! Done all of your mentions, hope it solves my problem. Update: system still freezes the same way. plus more info: all the times when system freeze occured got high cpu usage, because of photos app background process.

Administrators Hervé Posted November 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2019 HD3000 is far from being a great iGPU and it's not bug free after Yosemite. Did you apply the 512MB to 2GB VRAM patch at all? You could try that. How are CPU SpeedStep and CPU T°? Did you check your logs? The only thing I missed was your USB controller renaming (EHCx to EH0x) being disabled. You could re-enable that in the ACPI section of your Clover config but I doubt it'll make a difference unless you're using some external USB device.

withoutname Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 I will reenable that patch with acpi renames. How can i log speedstep for cpu? The freezing temp was around 80 Celsius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2019 You can monitor CPU speed and T° with HWMonitor app. It's available with any recent/latest copy of FakeSMC package you download. Eg: Rehabman's. Then, there is Intel's own Power Gadget tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
