Hi Christopher,

Thanks for trying to help. However, I gave up and moved to Windows. Following this experience (over three months and no solution to a major crash) I understood it is a much more reliable system.
All the best,

Gil

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.
