Hello @Mami and welcome :wink:

I would say it is C6 C-State problem, which does not work well with linux. You can restrict that by adding:

processor.max_cstate=5

to the kernel parameter. It restricts the cstate from C0-C5 and ignores C6.

:notebook: C-States are powersaving states for CPUs.

It goes like that:

  1. Boot the Manjaro Install Disk.
  2. On the grub boot menu edit with E the entry and add the previous parameter at line which begins with linux.
  3. Type F10 to boot it with that parameter.

Some UEFIs are also able to disable this CState on the Settings.

Hope it works for you :wink:
