Thanks for the advice, Andi. To my astonishment it actually worked and I logged in for the first time. My display was an utter mess and I could hardly read the text, but that's another issue for now. Yes, I meant cpufreqd. What does this actually do?
cpufreqd changes the frequency and voltage of your CPU depending on CPU load (AMD calls this "cool'n'quiet") This saves power and noise. But it relies on correct tables from the BIOS, and when they're wrong sometimes such problems happen. An BIOS update may cure it. Other than that you can just disable it with chkconfig cpufreqd off -Andi
