System crashes randomly nearly every day.

First off, a massive thank you for the repo-- truly a blessing. I very much appreciate your continued work on the project.

That said, while my system works great overall, i do have a couple problems that won't seem to go away. The main problem i have is some kind of system instability. I get sudden crashes pretty often. It usually occurs when the system is asleep, but it also happens in the middle of active use nearly as much.

I haven't been able to pinpoint what's causing the crashes, but i to admit I haven't tried much in that regard. I have tried swapping in a different graphics card, tried different RAM, tried different power sources (on different circuit breakers), tried a new power supply, and tried a different hard disk.

I've kept up with your repo releases and tried each one on fresh installs of the latest OS, each time hoping to solve the issue, but so far no luck.

My system specs:

• Core i9-10900K
• Gigabyte Z490 Vision G w/ bios F21
• Sapphire NITRO+ RX580 8GB
• G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM
• EVO 870 SSD

Cheers.

Thanks for feedback.

Sorry to hear that you have issues. Since I don't have theese kind of isssues on my system, I would suggest the following:

• Disable XMP Memory Profile if enabled
• Create your own CpuFriendHelperKext, since you use a different CPU than me
• Disable Overclocking if configured

cheers, dude.

I finally got around to making my own CPUFriendDataProvider.kext and ssdt_data.aml files today. Ive added them with OCAT and updated the plist... Boot went fine, so now only time will tell if the system is stable.

However, this process sparked me to check GeekBench scores. I hadnt tried this before, but I see my multi-core score is significantly lower than yours at only 8729. Any idea why that might be? I had chosen performance throughout the CPUFriendFreind config.

You don't need the SSDT_data.aml file if you are using the data provider kext (it's either/or)

Any idea why that might be? I had chosen performance throughout the CPUFriendFreind config.

I did the benchmark years ago in Big Sur. The newer the OS, the more stuff runs in the background. I also use watercooling and changed some voltage settings in the bios. I guess you have to do some testing. Also test in Windows with geekbench for comparison.

I realized after commenting that you used Geekbench 5 whereas i used version 6.

I found their legacy versions page, got v5, ran it, and my score is now nearly identical to yours (1379 single core and 10099 multi-core). But good call to also run it in Windows. Will get to that today for sure.

Thank you for your continued help on this :)

Ahh, yes, I forgot. I am glad you figured that out. They change the way the score is generated with each release. I don't like Geekbench 6. The tests take way too long.
