Ensure you are using the latest BIOS/UEFI. Skylake systems with an old
BIOS are unsupportable and broken. This is always the first thing to
verify when any Skylake-based system behaves badly when running Debian.
You *must* have an up-to-date BIOS with any Skylake-based system to run
Debian. Right now, this means you need to check for a new BIOS at least
once every two months.
Also, ensure you have the intel-microcode package (from non-free)
installed. Intel started distributing Skylake microcode updates as
well (but they are not useful if your BIOS/UEFI is too outdated).
