This may sound weird, but it has worked for me, some years ago.

Normally my 1st suggestion would be "update the firmware" but you say
you've done that.

Is it a very old motherboard? As in, 4-5Y+? If not, I don't think
`acpi=force` will help.

But disabling kernel modeswitching might.

This is a line in /etc/default/grub or you can pass it to the kernel
at the GRUB command line.

It's a single parameter --

nomodeswitch

It tells the kernel not to try to switch the console into graphics
mode, but leave that job up to X.11 when it starts.

Worth a try.
