["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andy Low, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77M_PRO/#support an
update is available for your BIOS (2105). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

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

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Random kernel Oops

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Kernel Oops occurs on new PC about once per day. It was worse with
  previous BIOS and with proprietary nvidia graphics driver, but still
  occurs with latest BIOS and nouveau. Last time it happened while doing
  stress and gtkperf at the same time, but this time I was using
  thunderbird normally - I had just clicked on an email and the text
  console came up with kernel log. Mouse still moved, but keyboard
  appeared dead - but it had processed alt-sysrq-1, alt-sysrq-t.
  kern.log is now about 250Mbytes.

  It runs 3 full passes of memtest86 with no errors. After BIOS update
  on Thursday, I loaded BIOS defaults and have not changed any settings
  since then. Max cpu temperatures even when running stress are 42deg.
