Try this:

What worked for me was to blacklist the Toshiba ACPI module by putting
this in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file

blacklist toshiba_acpi

You may not have a Toshiba nor use the toshiba-acpi, but perhaps the
equivalent acpi module cause the same issues? Try and find which acpi
modules you are using and then blacklist them. I'm no expert but that's
what worked for me.

Good luck
