To me looks like a problem with ACPI... how about booting the system by
appending to the kernel line "acpi=off"? This will completely disable
ACPI subsystem which is not good for your computer's health but maybe we
can have a clue here.
In addition, is this problem happening after a fresh installation or just
came after a system or hardwrae update?
I would also test with a LiveCD (either from Debian or another
distribution) to see if it behaves the same.
