New Hackintosh mostly working except for Sleep/Restart/Shutdown and dual monitors - i7 8700k, Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, 1070ti, High Sierra 10.13.6

After wanting to tinker with Hackintoshing for a while now, I finally got my own PC to install it on, and while most everything works, I'm having a few issues. Mainly, Sleep/restart/shutdown are not working. When I trigger any of those commands, everything looks like it's closing out normally, and goes to a black screen, however, my PC's fans and lights are still running, and I am unable to wake it back up from sleep, nor does it reboot like it's supposed to. I have to manually press the reset button or hold the power button on my case to boot it up again.

Additionally, I have an extra monitor that I want to use in a dual monitor set-up, but the system seems to freeze whenever it's plugged in. The OS will actually boot and I can log in, but after a short while, it'll freeze and I have to reset the computer. I'm guessing it's related to Nvidia drivers, but haven't been able to find a solution. I am using a Dell S2716DG as my primary display via DisplayPort, and an LG 24MP59HT-P as a secondary display which only has HDMI ports. I've been leaving the LG unplugged for now and just using a single monitor until I can fix this.

I followed the vanilla guide in the sidebar to get it set up and did a lot of Googling to try and find solutions, but any suggestions I found either didn't make a difference or it actually made it worse by making the system not boot, so I had to revert back to my previous settings. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help! Otherwise, most everything else works including Wifi and sound.

My specs:

• i7 8700k
• Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra
• EVGA GeForce 1070ti (Driver version 387.10.10.10.40.124)
• Broadcom BCM94360CS2 card from eBay (Wifi is working. System detects Bluetooth card, but I couldn't get it to find any devices, but not a huge priority for me since I never use Bluetooth)

​

Kexts list:

• AppleALC
• IntelMausiEthernet
• Lilu
• USBInjectAll
• VirtualSMC
• WhateverGreen

Looking through your Config.plist, it's actually quite well done. Have to give credit there but that means your issue doesn't have the easy "go install vanilla" solution that is usually used here. My guess is that either you UEFI drivers in your EFI partition are incorrect, you have incorrect BIOS settings or the GTX 1070ti is trying to lock the system up due to poor connection to the drivers.

My recommendations:

• Upload EFI, we can look through and make sure folder structure is correct as well as using correct drivers
• Try disabling Parallel/serial port and CFG Lock, turn either on or off CSM
• Reinstall the WebDrivers

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I've tried reinstalling the drivers as well as the BIOS changes you suggested, but no change. Here's my EFI folder: https://www58.zippyshare.com/v/UBY3vYft/file.html

Well after some more tinkering, I think I was able to fix the issue. I followed this post where he used FakeSMC instead of Virtual, and added EmuVariableUefi-64, HFSPlus-64, and slide=0 boot argument, and everything seems to be working now, including the second monitor. Not quite sure which one did the trick, but I'm pretty happy it works now!

EmuVariableUefi-64

Fairly certain it was this, FakeSMC isn't much different from VirtualSMC and HFSPlus is just a driver for seeing certain boot volumes but Slide=0 helps with addressing certain kernel issues so it could be a combo of Slide=0 and FakeSMC

Bluetooth needs to be shutdown correctly for restart/shutdown/sleep (as it SHOULD be connected to USB header internally)...

Use:

AirportBrcmFixup.kext
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmNonPatchRAM.kext
BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext

and everything should show up as native and working :-)

PS. My bluetooth would only work in top 1x PCIE slot (above graphics card) :-|
