While starting Gnome I've switched with CTRL+1 to the first text console
and got this tail of stacktrace instead of a reboot.

Call Trace:
    do_dbs_timer+0x204/0x26a
    worker_thread+0x188/0x21d

After this stacktrace I disabled AMD Live! and Cool and Quiet in the
BIOS and now I can start my system normally ... at least one time.
