I checked recently and decided to try the workaround in Luca's post. I couldn't find C-State settings in the bios, but did find "Intel SpeedStep" which I disabled, assuming it was another name for a related option. So far the system has been running without lockups, so there may be some connection to Speedstep with this bug.
