I just built my first hackintosh and so far it's working like a charm for everyday tasks such as video editing! But I have encountered three bugs (for lack of a better word) that are kinda weird and I haven't been able to find anything on google about it. Possibly because I don't know what to search for...! Apologies in advance for possible errors. English is not my first language!
BUG #1: When I connect an external HDD with external power the computer just restarts. It doesn't DIE in that sense but it's identical to pressing the hardware reboot button on my case. This happens as soon as the metal from the USB plug meets with the metal from the socket. That makes me think it has something to do with power...? There ARE a lot of things connected to the same outlet here but picking another socket for the HDDs on the opposite side of the apartment didn't help! Shouldn't be a grounding error either... tried both ways. Really don't know what might be causing this! External HDDs without external power do not cause this to happen! If I connect the external HDD with external power when the computer is off and THEN turn it on everything works fine. But that feels kinda scary since it can cause the reboots...
BUG #2: I occasionally get a kernel panic shut down when I do too many things at once (several Adobe programs at once and Chrome). Tried searching for the error code I found but nothing newer than 2013 came up... I have SOME reason to believe that #1 and #2 are linked. Meaning that the kernel panic might only happen when I have external drives connected. Here is the first part of the "panic report" if that can be of help?
*** Panic Report *** panic(cpu 7 caller 0xffffff8017106405): "thread_invoke: preemption_level 1, possible cause: blocking while holding a spinlock, or within interrupt context"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-3789.51.2/osfmk/kern/sched_prim.c:2086 Backtrace (CPU 7), Frame : Return Address
BUG #3: When my computer wakes up from "sleep" the sound doesn't work. Solved quite easily by just restarting the computer but still kinda annoying. Defeats the purpose of "sleep"! If I adjust the power saving settings so that the computer never falls asleep, just the display, this doesn't happen. But that doesn't feel very economical...
So grateful if anyone could shed some light on any of these issues! If anyone can help it's you guys!
