  Brand and model of laptop?

  Distribution and release?

  In general, you can try: Removing any kernel module claiming to have
anything to do with power management, APM, or ACPI, and disabling any BIOS
setup option or feature mentioning the same.

  APM = Advanced Power Management (which is not advanced)
  ACPI = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
