Comment 8 for bug 816035

Similar problems here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276648) and here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=355730); in both cases the solution appeared to be a bios upgrade. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem for me; also won't explain why Ubuntu seems to be the only OS having problems with the current hardware configuration.
