Hard random kernel lock-up at "rcu_process_callbacks+(0x3ee"

[machuidel]

Everytime just after boot and putting the computer on a mild load the kernel crashes with the following message:

Picture of screen
(A photo of the screen, my apologies. Hope it is fine.)

I tried booting the system with the bare minimum and only the essential modules, but no luck.

My disks, memory are fine an pass all tests. My Windows or using a Linux Live CDs work fine.

This started happening after I upgraded my system and installed Linux 4.15.6. I now use 4.15.7-r1, but still the same issue.

Update: My kernel config at: https://pastebin.com/UhtcAn1R

Any idea what could be wrong?

I reverted to Linux 4.9 and no crashes. Something changed in 4.15 that causes it to freeze in my situation.

Does it happen if you boot the kernel with "noapic"? (not for general use - it'll likely hide all but one CPU from the kernel)
