Right now I am overriding the DSDT, but I am not able to override the SSDT, because I have to fix and compile all the SSDT files. There are too many compile errors... Wanted to find the exact line which is responsible for the hickup. >>> Yes I suspect there is an ACPI and/ or PCI problem, possibly >>> device-specific.

Boot to GDM login manager (Wayland) 3. Switch to TTY with CTRL+ALT+FN2 4. Load bbswitch 5. Switch off GPU 6. run lspci -> no freeze 7. Switch to GDM 8. Login to a Wayland session (X11 won't work) 9. run lspci in a GUI terminal -> system freezes
