I have had an issue recently when installing CentOS 7 on Intel hardware, after the install I was getting mei_me messages at the login prompt which was making it annoying when trying to login and use the command prompt.
When checking dmesg I was getting
[ 11.736057] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 11.736090] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING [ 17.748017] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout. [ 17.748058] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
The solution to this is to remove/blacklist the module is with this simple one liner, this should also work for Debian and Ubuntu.
echo "# Intel VPRO remote access technology driver" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf && echo "blacklist mei_me" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Hope This help.
