You apparently have Sandy Bridge, the referenced reports are about
Broadwell and Skylake. Even if the symptoms you see are the same, the
root causes might be wildly different, needing a different fix.

I've learned the hard way not to make assumptions without detailed
information, which in this case I don't have. As in, I don't even know
for sure if you have Sandy Bridge or not, although it's alluded to in
your message.

nothing to work with. You need to help us to help you.
