Hello Nuno,

What CPU is this?  If you install cpu-microcode-rc and run service
microcode_update onestart, do you see anything interesting on the
console?

There was a similar issue reported in bug #294630.  Can you follow up
there with any new information?  I haven't been able to reproduce any
issues, but I have a limited number of Intel CPUs I can test with.

Joe
