and it locks up. I have to turn it off with the power switch. Then it reboots fine. Any ideas for a fix?
I think those two drivers mei and mei_me are the culprits.
Try blacklisting them by creating a mei.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d folder (you need root rights to create a new file in that folder) with the following contents
blacklist mei
blacklist mei_me
After that perform a sudo update-initramfs -u and restart.
The problem should now be gone.
