Christopher, I never checked the BIOS version, as this laptop is from the company I work for, but it was very old (about 2 years old), it was F.08. The latest is F.40 and I updated BIOS a few minutes ago.
The output of the command you said now is: 68SCE Ver. F.40 03/13/2013 I'll be using this system and check if the issue occurrs again. As it's very random, I can't recreate it right away. Whatever the result, I'll inform here.
