"GPU: none" <- and there you go.... Here's at least one of your problems. You try to use Intel IrisXE (GPU inside your i9) which afaik is not supported by any version of MacOS and will likely never be, as Apple gave up on intel completely. Take a look at the list of supported GPUs and start with getting one of these. That being said: I've heard of people succeeding with 12th gen. intel CPUs but the last "Core i" series CPU natively supported in MacOS was 10th gen. so keep that in mind when trying again

Hi, I need to update my Hack to Monterey (not Ventura, as some apps I use are still not compatible). I'm on Mojave via clover (olarilla, wiht Mr Mald0n's DSDT), I assume the update won't be straightforward, so here's my question: what should I be prepared for? Did anyone actually succeed in doing such a big step without doing a clean install ? i7-8700k/Asus Rog Strix z370/Rx570

@MaLd0n ok, I guess I solved my problem. I figured out, that the instability and crashes started to happen right after an app called "Google file stream" was updated... So I started playing around with it and got the system to crash each and every time I tried to sunc or mount/unmount the network drive by google. Then I got rid of the app totally together with it's FS and preferences - the system is back to it's normal stability - rock solid without a single glitch. So I guess this is a warning for everyone using this app - better switch to "Backup and Sync" - it doesn't mess with the filesystem or pretend to be a physical drive....

@MaLd0n ok, I will post the error as soon as I get back to my office BUT, guess what.... After a FULL reinstall on a NEW NVMe drive, and a few days of stable usage, te NVMe error ocurred AGAIN in the exact same manner: The machine refused to shut down, so after an hour of waiting I had to force reboot it, then it started with the message "Your computer was shut down because of a problem" an the same report as in the first post! So that was not the drive's faut at all. I'm freaking out actually, cause another reinstall would be a complete mess, as I have a lot of work... Do you have any other idea what may cause this?

Thank you a lot @MaLd0n A brief report: The last EFI update rendered the OS completely unbootable (DSDT table read error), so I brought back the first EFI update you posted. It kinda boots, but the system is still unusable with random freezes every few seconds, and crashes every few minutes. I've tried creating the drive's image with no luck, even using time machine or migration assistant to clone the system ends up in kernel panic... Disk utility reports i/o error when trying fsck... all that leads me to believe that the drive simply failed. A clean install on another ssd seems the only option unfortunately. I'll try a firmware update to bring the device back to life, but the update procedure erases all the data anyway, so... I seem to have no other option than a full reinstall. It's gonna take ages (tons of software), but fortunately I have all my data backed up, it's just the system drive and all apps.... it could have been worse. Anyway, thank you a lot for your assistance (again!) !

ok, I managed to run the RunMe Send me RedDs-iMac.zip

There's something terribly wrong with this machine... already crashed twice while running the RunMe.app before it finished... F4 on clover causes the computer to freeze... And disk utility refuses to even fsck the system drive (exit code 8 ) ... I'm starting to lose any hope to rescue this system or even the whole drive ;( I'll keep on trying to run the .app though

@MaLd0n That's weird, my EFI folder is womehow 15MB now instead of ca. 5 so I can't upload it here. I put it on my Google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PNrPJMsaFdlfesxfiRu1IhPXXGSARQgv/view?usp=sharing Btw. after a full day of absolutely normal operation, the whole system just crashed and now boots in a really strange way: instead of a login screen it displays a message "macOS wants to make changes type in your login an password" then takes ages to do pretty much everything....spinnig wheel of death.... Please, help!

Hi Folks, I started to get random kernel panics out of the sudden after a year of stable operation on Mojave.... Does anyone have an idea, what may cause this error? It says something about NVMe driver.... I've got two adata sx6000 nvme drives i7-8700k Asus Rog Strix Z370-F gaming. anyone?

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Thank you again. It's better with the graphics, but the realtime audio performance I mentioned before still does suck... Am I missing something or is this really all I can get out of this machine on MacOS?

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Thank you! All USB ports work now including the 3.1. The system's actual realtime floating-point performance improved, BUT it's still ca. 50% () inferior to what I was able to get on Windows (not 95% though, like it was before your patch...). Test results are the same on both - a third-party driver MOTU audio interface and the Class-compilant, native Core Audio Apogee hardware, so I think this rules out driver compatibility-related problem. Another thing is the graphics performance - even a simple HD YT video glitches on the RX570... Now, do You think that this is all I can get out of this machine under MacOS (performance-wise), or is there anything else you can think of to improve it's realtime performance? I greatly appreciate your help!

Mr [ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Thank you for the EFI, Here's the new SendMe file! Why not Mojave? Still too many known, unsolved issues with audio hardware and software I use (MOTU audio drivers, Waves V9 plugins, Native Instruments 10 series.... all of these either don't work with Mojve or have issues... ) Pro Audio is a nishe known form being reeealy lazy regarding updates and adopting new OS versions... And frankly, I don't wanna spend another $10k to upgrade or replace both: the hardware and the software if I can just stick to High Sierra hoping they'll eventually sort it out ) Send me Patricks-iMac.zip

Hello! Mr MaLdOn, thank you for your fine work here! I'd appreciate if you could make the DSDTs for me, I'm totaly stuck with the USB 3.0 and performance issues Best regards, Patrick Send me Patricks-iMac.zip
