Issue Description
A week ago, I performed a fresh installation of macOS Sonoma 14.7.3 on my Mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro. Most things work fine, except for a hibernation issue (where the Mac wouldn't turn on after closing the lid for a prolonged period). However, I have already fixed that problem. Now the major issue I'm facing, which is severely affecting my work, is freezes. This sometimes happens after I close the lid for an extended period, but sometimes it occurs even when the lid hasn't been closed at all and mac is just at it's idle (i.e. I'm not using it for some times).

1. When this happens, the trackpad, keyboard, and external mouse stop responding.
2. The only way to fix it is to force shut down the Mac by holding the power button.

After Install I get this error

I have disabled standby mode and hibernation using:
$ sudo pmset -a standby 0
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
Also I have reapplied Post‑Install Patches

Btw just today I did put this two value as default
$ sudo pmset -a standby 1
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

Then I did nvram reset and smc reset. Surprisingly the lid wake sleep is solved without touching the standby or hibernatemode thing but I noticed something changed in pmset. But still got the freezes issue if it idle or lid closed for long time.

I got this value on pmset after this

Error this time after smc & nvram reset
