OC 0.7.1 | macOS Catalina | Installer freezes after awhile

Hello everybody,

Looking for some tips on how to resolve my macOS installer freezing. It's pretty inconsistent on when it freezes. It could freeze at the "10 minutes remaining" mark or the "6 minute remaining" mark and so on. When it freezes I can't do anything like move the mouse or any keyboard input it completely locks up. I've already tried rebooting a few times and retrying multiple times.

These are my hardware specs:

Model: Dell XPS 15 7590

CPU: i7-9750H

GPU: Intel UHD 630

RAM: 16 GB DDR4

Mouse: Ps/2 Synaptics Touchpad

SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB NVME

Audio Codec: ALC3266 Audio Codec

The guide I followed is Dortania's Open Core guide for version 0.7.1 - Coffee Lake Plus - Laptops

Kexts installed:

For troubleshooting I followed the Userspace issues guide and tried these two things:

1. Frozen in the macOS installer after 30 seconds

This is likely due to faulty or outright missing NullCPUPowerManagement, the one hosted on AMD OSX's Vanilla Guide is corrupted. Go yell at Shannee to fix it. To fix the issue, remove NullCPUPowerManagement from Kernel -> Addand EFI/OC/Kextsthen enable DummyPowerManagementunder Kernel -> Emulate

2. macOS frozen right before login

This is a common example of screwed up TSC, for most system add CpuTscSync

Any help greatly appreciated. Let me know if I need to provide anything further.
