MP 1,1-5,1 Sleep / wake issues, Monterey on MP 5,1.

[CYB3RBYTE]

Recently, my MP 5,1 has begun having issues where when woken from sleep, the machine will be quite unresponsive. It will allow you to change to different Windows of open applications, but will immediately beachball when trying to do those applications.

If left for 15+ minutes, it will resume normal functionality. Currently running SATA SSDs, RX580, X5690, and am back on the RAM the machine came with 8GB (I had 32GB no-name sever modules in it, reverting to original RAM helped but not much).

Currently running Monterey using latest OCLP version. I've tried using activity monitor to perhaps catch a rogue process as the culprit, like photoanalysisd, but no such luck.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Latest Monterey 12.6.2?

What's the hard drives config? Only one SATA SSD?

Any other PCIe cards?

Did you patch any system kext via OCLP?

Did you change the GPU after install this Monterey via OCLP?

Did you check Consoles to see if anything suspecious?

Yes, on 12.6.2

2x SATA SSD, WD Blue 500GB. One is a bootcamp drive.

Patched WiFi kexts, plus I have the newer wifi card (non-airdrop one) that is sold on eBay.

Had the GPU before Monterey OCLP installation.

Have yet to check consoles, what should I be on the lookout for?

Just check the time when you have beachball, and see if anything only keep repeating in that period of time. Or anything looks strange to you.

Did you checked the battery voltage with a multimeter/voltmeter? First thing with sleep issues is to check the RTC battery voltage - replace the BR2032 whenever is below 3.00V.

Did a battery a little over a year ago when the machine was acquired, but maybe it's time again. I'll check, thank you.

I'll have to wait for console logs to show anything, new Hynix 32GB set of RAM arrived today and seems to be stable so far.
