[Bug 687553] [NEW] Ubuntu freezes when Hyper Threading is enabled in BIOS

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hyper Threading Technology enables 2nd logical processor.
If this option is enabled in BIOS, the system will freeze after some minutes of usage.
All system freezes: keys combinations are useless, mouse is irresponsible.
This happens not only in Ubuntu, but in other linux distros too.
I'm not an expert, so excuse me for some lack of information, but I'm 200% sure of this bug on my machine:

Acer Travelmate 2700
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP
Intel Pentium 4 3GHz
512MB DDR
