Hi all
Following my own thread, I found the following error in dmesg:
PM-Timer running at invalid rate: 33% of normal - aborting.
I found that interesting because 33% is 1/3 and the clock runs exactly 3x faster than normal...
A bit of search on google gave me several links to posts from other people with the exact same problem on similar hardware (AMD64 laptop) but I couldn't find neither the cause nor the fix of that issue (as I think it might be related to the other issues I observe when the clock goes too fast)
Does that PM-Timer message makes sense to someone knowledgeable?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Olivier.
