Random Freezes on High Sierra.

So yea, after months of trying I finally get my mackintosh to work, Graphics, Sound, Ethernet, everything. But now another problem arises.

As googling the problem didn't give me enough info what could cause this, so I'm here.

My Specs:-
i3-4150 @3.5Ghz
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
Gigabyte H81M-DS2 (rev2.1)
Asus Geforce 210 1GB (Silent Edition)
Intel HD 4400 (DVMT Memory = 128MB) = Enabled but not using it as initial display output.

So the specs are crappy, but Mac OS runs well on this. The First error was that graphics were a lot laggy, and this I got fixed by deleting Apple Graphics Power Management kext from S/L/E folder. Which fixed the error. I can't say that this caused the next error that I'm about to tell because normally my system was booted up for 1/2 hour everything as I was fixing which caused me to reboot system several times. when the graphics got fixed I started getting Random Freezes.

And These Freezes are different than what other people get. I can play Spotify using my mobile (Spotify Connect), can pause, skip songs, colluding that Mac OS is working but the screen is frozen. And the Screen is not all frozen, some parts cliches out, like notifications after 2-3 minutes get glitched out and the screen is frozen, except, cursor. I can move the Cursor, here and there, but the os is non-interactive so nothing else I have to restart. No keyninds work, my keyboard stops working. And after 5 minutes of this, mouse disappears, and everything is frozen.

Could this happen because of the kext that I removed? and if yes, I have to put it back to fix this error, but then ill be once again with glitchy and laggy graphics all the time.

Spent more time Debugging this than actually using it tho.

Thanks for the Help!

(Kexts are minimal, photos attached(if can mount efi duh, will update soon), and nothing special in config.plist file except the inject Nvidia, and smbios, no DSDT or anything)
