Sudden Black Screen Issue on Sonoma 14.4.1 (XPS 13 7390) - Need Help

New post: I've been running a Hackintosh on my Dell XPS 13 7390 (i7 10510U, Intel UHD 630, 16GB RAM, 4TB SSD) without any issues for days. Everything was working perfectly, including sleep, the touchscreen, brightness control, and I’ve even been simulating the iPhone 15 to test app development. Then it went wrong

Here's what happened:

  1. I opened my laptop and booted into macOS
  2. I launched my open Xcode project and started coding
  3. I think I pressed run on the simulator (can't remember for sure), and suddenly, the screen went completely black
  4. The laptop became unresponsive. no keyboard input, no screen activity, nothing
  5. The power button wouldn't turn the laptop back on
  6. I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery to get it to turn back on

I've had this issue before with a prebuilt EFI, which is why I decided to build my own using the Dortania guide. Up until this point, everything has been running smoothly

I really wanna continue using Xcode, I’ve heard I can use my Mac mini and program with react native using windows connected to the mac, but it seems like hassle which is why I’m on hackintosh

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
