Would be great to have dmesg output of your system, at best with
option "apic=debug" added to your command line.
So far I see two possible root causes:
(1) Either the APIC timer is used which will stop working if the machine goes
into C3. If this causes your problems, then booting with "noapictimer"
should help.
(2) Wrong setup for timer interrupt routing. (That is why I requested more
debug
information). In such cases using one of
- acpi_use_timer_override or
- acpi_skip_timer_override
might help (especially for the nVidia MCP51 chipset).
I guess it's (1) that causes your system hang -- this is also Thomas'
assumption -- but who knows.
If all this does not help, chances are high that the problem is caused
by some other misconfiguration of your hardware and a BIOS update is
required to solve the problem. If a new BIOS is available at all ;-(
