1 - direct application

sudo notepadqq /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

# Modify notepadqq with gedit, nano, vim if you prefer

1 - Source

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051

The following eliminated the problem for me.

Edit /etc/default/grub. Change the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1 quiet splash"

then do

sudo update-grub
and reboot.

2 - optional

curl -O http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
