hello everyone !!
I managed to install Tahoe 26.2 with built-in Wi-Fi. I think everything works, but the problem is that it freezes intermittently. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Have you checked the CPU & GPU temperatures when the freeze/crash occurred? CPU fan noise would indicate a cooling/thermal problem.

In my case that happens, there is no fan acceleration

Do the following:
1. Check the CPU fan connection is fully seated in the motherboard plug/fan header.
2. Check the fan cable is not damaged or being pinched by any other components when the base is attached.
3. Check the thermal paste hasn’t dried out and is no longer functioning. I replace the thermal paste on my Desktop systems every 3 years (did this today for an AMD Hack), on a laptop I try to do this every 2 years.
4. Check the heatsink is in full contact with the CPU.
5. Check the CPU fan works as the system boots, i.e. have the case open while booting the system. Obviously this will be easier for a desktop system.
6. Check the Troubleshooting LED’s on the motherboard are not showing an issue when the system boots, might cause an extended delay to the boot time, or for the system to reset and boot again before getting past the error. Again easier with a Desktop system.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll check what you said. The thing is, when I have Sonoma installed, it runs smoothly.

It was the same for me, the freeze is only appear with Tahoe. I have a triple boot, and the other system are working well. I have tried to monitor the temperatures of CPU Fan with AMD Power Gadget, nothing special. Maybe a NVME management trouble in my case with Sabrent.
