Constant system freezes forcing hard resets (2025-02-04 update)

system froze again while writing this post!

updated BIOS/UEFI - info from cpupower frequency-info changed…

before the crash: CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0

why 0? was 4

after crash and reboot…

$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 4:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 4
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 4
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
  hardware limits: 1.40 GHz - 3.70 GHz
  available frequency steps:  3.70 GHz, 2.30 GHz, 1.40 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.40 GHz and 3.70 GHz.
                  The governor "schedutil" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
  current CPU frequency: 1.28 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
  boost state support:
    Supported: no
    Active: no
