hey all, i have a Gigabyte AORUS x570 elite running BigSur that has a few issues i haven't been able to lock down.
i get ocasional lockups randomly, not sure what's causing it. where can i look to see whats causing the issue.
i also have difficulty booting. system will restart several times before finally getting to the logon screen and even then sometimes right after login i might get a lockup or wierdness where finder doesn't load or i just get a black screen with a static mouse cursor. clearing NVRAM sometime helps.
i'm on OpenCore 0.7.1 currently. i had issues trying to update a while ago and found that this was the most stable for me at the time. i have updated whatever drivers i could tho.
i'm also unsure what BIOS entries should be set for. i cannot find a list or guide for my mobo specifically so i've pieced together what i could.
hardware:
CPUID CPU Name AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Motherboard Name Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite on BIOS F33g (i think)
GPU Code Name Navi 10 XT - Gigabyte RX 5700 XT
Realtek ALC1200 / ALC S1200A / ALC S1220A @ AMD K17.7 - High Definition Audio Controller
Fenvi Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
Intel I211 Gigabit Network Connection
MacOS Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB
Win Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB
2TB HDD
BIOS setting notes ( i will try to get better settings)
AMD BIOS Settings
#Disable
* Above 4G decoding(This must be on, if you can't find the option then add npci=0x2000 to boot-args. Do not have both this option and npci enabled at the same time.)
* If you are on a Gigabyte/Aorus or an AsRock motherboard, enabling this option may break certain drivers(ie. Ethernet) and/or boot failures on other OSes, if it does happen then disable this option and opt for npci instead
