That BUG is one point. The other thing is the kernel

dmesg when one CPU is woken up. Could be a kernel problem or a
hardware issue. First thing I'd do is test the memory, then try some
other distribution or different kernel. BTW, does that notebook work
fine with windows? Maybe there are entries in the syslog, too.
Works with zero problems under Windows, except for Windows being
windows, but all of my daily work needs to be on Linux. It is dual
boot, cannot replicate any issues at all under Windows.
Have run thorough hardware tests through Dell tools and found no errors
in any hardware.
When first installed CentOS with default XFCE didn't have any weirdness
(of course very limited features, too limited for my productivity
needs).
If I just run in console-only mode (no X) I don't have weird behaviors
(of course very limited features).
I haven't tried with the newer KDE or Gnome (blech), so other than
initial xfce only experienced problems in TDE so far.
Understand if this is not directly TDE related, but need some idea of
where to go. Have fully updated all packages to latest stable for
CentOS. Looking at the data dump, you don't see anything that is in the
least bit TDE related then?
fF there are specific touchpad, kernel, or video card drivers (my
understanding is this Vega video card is pretty bleeding edge for
Linux), I am not sure what to take on first.
Thanks for suggestions.
