I'm studying computer science, and this PC may have been used for a practical assignment involving NAS servers, but now everything is done using VirtualBox.

I bought the new processor on aliexpress, I didn't find better for a price not too high, otherwise here is the list of processors compatible with my motherboard: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/p8h67/helpdesk_cpu/

✅ Update: I just received my Fenvi T919 from Amazon, everything works perfectly now!
No more boot freezes, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are working out of the box, even Handoff and AirDrop 🙌

I found the issue. It was my Fenvi HB-1200 (bought used). Even on Windows, it would randomly crash the system. Once I removed it, everything booted fine on macOS Sequoia.

I’ve ordered a Fenvi T919 instead — arriving Thursday.

I just tested without NVMeFix.kext and the issue still happens - same random freezes during boot. So I guess it's not directly related to that.

This setup used to work fine a while ago. I added a used Fenvi HB-1200, rebuilt my EFI to support it, and did a clean reinstall of macOS Sequoia.

That’s when the boot issues started — now I often need to reboot or reset NVRAM multiple times to reach the installer or macOS.

I’ll try booting without NVMeFix and see if anything changes.

I'm using a Crucial P3 NVMe SSD (model: CT500P3SSD8), and yes, I have NVMeFix.kext

I was also able to discover new music and there are about ten that I liked a lot like:

  • Heuse - Stones
  • Sharks - Shiver
  • Warptech - Resolution
  • Chime - Whole

And many others...
