Try newer kernel (see below) and see if problem still exists.

120 seconds is kernel's watchdog timer when loading new module.
mtp-probe suggests that something is wrong with USB flash drive - do you
have maybe card reader? If yes check if it is not cause of your
troubles. Also disconnect all USB devices to make sure that it is not
problem with one of your peripherals. Again, new kernel can be a solution.

As I said before, check new kernel from backports
(
http://backports.debian.org/ - it is currently 3.10) - it can help you
as all problems seem to be hardware related. Maybe default 3.2 does not
provide full support for your motherboard which is probably pretty new.
Also check linux-firmware* packages and install when necessary.
Last but not least, update your BIOS firmware if possible.
