Any ideas on why waking from sleep crashes my computer and requires a CMOS reset to boot?
I’ve had intermittent sleep issues ever since I first started in OC 6 era, where often waking from sleep would crash the computer (only in macOS) and require a CMOS reset to boot. This happened so often that I installed a switch to make shorting the pins easier. I eventually figured out that it wouldn’t crash as often if I woke the computer by pressing the power button on the case instead of tapping the keyboard/ mouse. I’ve tried to do USB mapping with several methods, but none seem to help (or I’ve not done it correctly).
After upgrading my monitor and using a different usb hub / switch, I suddenly stopped having these crashes for several months on OC 8.3. Thinking that the new hardware had solved the issue, I decided to upgrade my 3900x to a 5950x and get the machine ready for Ventura/ Sonoma. As soon as I updated my BIOS (and updated all OC-safe bios settings) the crashes came back. I decided to move forward with the CPU and OC update, thinking maybe the newer OC 9.3 would work better with the newer BIOS, but no luck.
I’ve lurked here enough to know that often a single setting can make all the difference (hopefully!). Though my best guess is that I need something more robust than the generic SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml, but I am really struggling to understand the SSDT process. I would be so grateful for any suggestions. Specs and EFI below. Thank you!
