    recurrent crash or reboot are mainly caused by a bad configuration of CPU power management or a misconfiguration of the graphic card Framebuffers. Check this kexts that come with a script to generate helpers kext that match your CPU: https://github.com/stevezhengshiqi/one-key-cpufriend and learn more about WhatEverGreen kext and related configuration you should do in EFI config.plist file: https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md
