RAS, as per http://www.asrock.com/mb/SiS/K7S41GX/?cat=Download&os=BIOS
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(2.80). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, 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

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Kernel 3.2.0-91-generic "end trace" boot failure

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  On this computer we recently updated to the 3.2.0-91-generic version,
  but it failed to start with a list of errors. Always ending in
  something with "end trace".

  The computer uses:
  -- Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
  -- Release:	        12.04

  Depending on the devices and network cables the errors changed, but
  always failed to properly boot.

  Also we are not able to change the bootoptions of grub, because when
  pressing keyboard keys no responses where captured by the grub
  software. The only keys pressed that where processed by grub where
  just before the load of the grub bootoption screen.

  Work around:
  -- use Ubuntu boot cd/dvd and fire up a temp Ubuntu environment
  -- remove 3.2.0-91-generic components from boot folder
  -- copy previous version (in my case 3.2.0-90-generic) of the components to a 3.2.0-91-generic naming and Ubuntu starts up again fine

  Hope you can fix it soon, because more people are likely to get stuck! And may have not my inside knowledge
