Probably the w83781d is initializing a chip and
causing problems.
Does the board documentation say what "Thermal check" means?
- Try loading bus drivers before client drivers,
one at a time.
- Then load the video drivers, one at a time, to make sure
they aren't the problem (they could be scanning the bus)
- Last, load w83781d
- If w83781d is the problem, try 'modprobe w83781d init=0'.
