Not ProLiant- BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources

Anyone able to give me some advice here? I've installed RHEL 7.3 workstation on a DELL latitude e6540 for compatibility/support reasons with a particular piece of software I'd like to use. However, RHEL crashes on start up over and over: "[Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resouces (MSR 38d is b0)"

Everything I've found so far shows a problem with HP ProLiance performance monitoring functions. I've disabled all three BIOS functions concerned with monitoring/affecting performance functions but I still repro. I'm stuck.
