Macbook Sleep Wake failure in EFI (Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f)

I have two macbook's, one model end 2018 and one model begin 2019.

They both suffer from the same problem with a fresh installation (also reset NVRAM, PRAM, SMC).


The crash reason: Sleep Wake failure in EFI

Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f


I already contacted Senior Support for this and have a running case for both.


If you run into the same problem, please let me know here.

To trace down the problem more info of different devices can be useful.


If I get feedback that solves it, I'll post it here.

I had the same problem, and finally found a very odd solution. In my case, after a lot of frustrating work, I traced the problem to an old USB hub I was using on my new mac. Once I disconnected the old USB hub, the problem immediately stopped. In my case, it was surprising and very lucky to discover that the problem seemed to be associated with an attached electronic component. Hope this helps you.

Same issue with a 2019 16" MacBook Pro. The laptop will immediate have a blank display (keyboard lights stay on) when I try to go to sleep AND have my Dell P2720DC external monitor plugged in. Laptop goes to sleep fine if the monitor is not plugged in.


Tried the following and no luck:


  1. Reset SMC
  2. Tried connecting USB-C on monitor to Thunderbolt: Does not work.
  3. Tried connecting HDMI to USB-C hub --> Thunderbolt: Does not work.
  4. Tried connecting HDMI to HDMI-->USB-C adapter --> Thunderbolt: Does not work.


I am on Catalina 10.15.5

I'm having the same issue, though mine seems to be specific to when the battery gets low and the system tries to Sleep. When I get down to 10 min remaining on my battery I get the system notification that my Mac will soon go to sleep if I do not plug it into a power source. I have never stuck around to watch what happens when the system "goes to sleep", but I can tell you what happens when I try to turn my Mac back on: The system powers on by itself as soon as I plug it into a power source, even if the lid is closed, and I hear the boot up sound. The screen is white for a few seconds, then it automatically reboots (with boot up sound). It repeats the last step another time. I finally get to my log in screen and can get to my desktop. All of the applications and windows that were open before the system crash begin to open up. Then I get the error message: Sleep Wake failure in EFI. Failure code:: 0x01790875 0x0000001f. I have a 2012 MBP with a fresh install, reset all the types of RAM and SMC, it has all of the latest software updates, and some hardware upgrades. I had this exact same problem with a prior 2012 MBP, exact same model. It makes me believe the issue is rooted in the software. I'm glad to know its not specific to my old MBP, and it would be awesome if Apply could figure out the bug.

I posted earlier this week about wake/sleep/crash on startup issues with upgraded WD 500gb SSD in Mac Air 2015 with Big Sur. Downgraded to Catalina with immediate crash, then downgraded SSD to used 256gb OEM. No problems running Big Sur in three days. So for many of these problems it is the third-party SSD. Resets don't work for sure and the terminal commands affecting hibernation didn't work for me. So if upgrading storage in order to run BS, I would stick with Apple SSDs, new or used, until somebody arrives at a demonstrated solution for my 500gb WD and other third-party.

I had this same problem once I upgraded to Big Sur OS, and performed a Clean OS Install, and it resolved this problem.

Your best bet is to perform a Clean install of your OS system.


Here's a nice tutorial video on how to create a bootable USB drive, which may be helpful.

You may think it's a lot of work performing the clean install, but this will certainly like to fix your problem, hence, stop wasting your time troubleshooting and get with it.


Good luck
