Hello,
yesterday I change to new kernel: 4.9.26 and still no effect.

I trying to figure out what I need to buy because I read on google a
lots of posts about that problem,
some ppl suggest is BIOS firmware bug, some ppl tell that when they swap
CPU problem is resolved.
May be problem was started when I first time boot 4.x kernel and there
have cpu microcode updates.
Im 3.x kernels this feature was not in kernel, but I don't know, only
guess.

Can some one point me clearly: You need to change this one and problem
will be solved ?
