Gil Hornung, as per
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LX/#support_Download_8 an update
is available for your BIOS (4404). If you update to this, does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Asus P8H61-M LX] Linux kernels from version 39 to current (41) cause
  my computer to freeze on startup

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After the update to linux kernel version 39 my computer keeps freezing after startup, sometimes after the screen flickers for a few times.
  I am trying to follow the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze for bug reporting, but since I'm not a linux expert, I don't know how to ssh to my system after it freezes to collect all the data that you ask. However, I'll try to answer the questions as best as I can:

  I experience the lockup consistently after I restart my computer. It usually occures a few seconds after Ubuntu loads.
  The bug appeared after update to kernel 39, and also after updates to kernel 40 and 41. I currently modified my grub setting to load kernel 38 by default, which still works.
