Random and Unexpected System freezes, Opencore 0.7.3 Big Sur 11.5.2

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

I thought my system was stable but I just got a random system freeze, had to do hard reboot. What could possibly be the cause? USB mapping done. Kexts updated. Opencore 0.7.3. everything seems to be in place. This really driving me mad. Because they are unexpected and random. Hackintool doesn't show any Logs after the reboot. Appreciate the help.

I'm on Mac OS Big Sur 11.3 [ same issue with 11.5.2 ]. It can be stable for hours then a random freeze.

My Config :
Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Designare [ Bios F9j ]
CPU: Core i9 9900k
GPU: Red Devil RX 5700 XT 8G GDDR6
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB x2 = 32GB
NVME: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB M2 x2 [ one for Windows / one for Mac OS ]
SSD: 256GB Sandisk Ultra [ Zorin OS / Windows 11 ]
PSU: Cooler Master V750
Monitor: MSI MAG322QVR 1440p 144hz curved 32''
