I had exactly the same problem (on an HP computer with an Intel
chipset).  As far as anyone could figure out, it is caused by a bug in 
the BIOS.  It's not entirely clear that this is the complete answer, 
but nothing else turned up.  See

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15385

for the complete record.  The best solution I could find was to boot
with "idle=halt" on the command line.  You might check to see if any 
BIOS updates are available.
