FireWire interface causing CPU PM to misbehave

I have a Saffire Pro 40 that connects via a firewire card. I recently used Toleda's fix to resolve my CPUs PM issues, but had my interface turned off while I was going through the process. Everything worked... until I rebooted with the interface running. PM stopped working, maxing out frequencies as though in turbo boost all the time. When I reboot without the interface, PM works properly again. Any ideas what the problem could be? The interface worked both before and after PM, just PM is acting up. Full disclosure, I have the drivers for onboard audio set up, but because I had the interface from the beginning I never tested them fully.
