First, we should test if the problem happens to an other x86-64 linux
distro or i686 Archlinux installation.
I have to setup a VM because I only use Arch.

PS:
I read the Mailing List Guidelines from the wiki and they suggest not
to top post and to use interleaved (bottom) posting. I should have
read it before my first reply.
