one-key-cpufriend VS CPUFriend

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

Posted links to what I used in the description. I kind of 'cheated' by using CPUFriend and CPUfriend dataprovoder, which I've never used before. I'll add a screenshot to the post of my EFI. Almost feel like the whole config is sloppy/dirty at this point, and I should start over again now that i know what to do.

You can use this to set the clock speed.

Do you mind trying to deactivate AppleCpuFmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock in your config.plist (Kernel) but also add those 2 kext : https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/190 (CpuFriendDataProvider.kext) along with its dependency CpuFriend.kext? https://github.com/acidanthera/CPUFriend

How are you doing your power management? Have you tried CPUFriend ??
