Sounds like a motherboard problem. You could look for an updated BIOS,
or you could try reverting to use the old-fashioned PIC-style interrupt
controller with the noapic kernel parameter.

You would do that by adding the word "noapic" (without quotes,
surrounded by spaces) into the appropriate "kernel" lines in
/boot/grub/grub.conf, or by editing this line in the grub startup menu.

Incidentally, are you running in 32 or 64 bit mode? Do you have a
dual-core processor?

Hope this helps,

James.
