Are you using MOL or do you experience this with nothing special running ?
Do you have the same issue if you disable powersave_nap (/proc/sys/
kernel/powersave_nap) ?
The TB is calibrated using the VIA, if we don't have a correct VIA frequency
or if the calibration routine is slightly off, that may also explain the
problem.
