yustnip, you won't be able to use WiFi with the upstream kernel as the
proprietary driver wasn't built for it, as discussed in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Problems_installing_an_upstream_kernel
.

However, given the issue you are having is correlated to WiFi usage, let
us hold off on installing a mainline kernel for now, and focus on things
that may be dealt with without borking your WiFi.

Hence, as per http://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X551MA/HelpDesk/ an update to your BIOS is available (513). 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, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  ASUS X551MA: Ubuntu 14.04 freezes from time to time

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  From time to time without an obvious reason the whole system freezes
  (Ubuntu 14.04 on ASUS X551MA) . A mouse indicator also don't respond.
  Always it was when I was using Internet via Chrome or Firefox or
  Transmission. Of course, maybe it was a mere coincidence.
