Mike Cornelison, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming- ITXac/?cat=Download&os=BIOS an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.20). 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. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.20 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - may relate to bug 1507119 + kernel oops -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509781 Title: kernel oops Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I was running under kernel 4.3 as requested (see bug 1507119) I got the 4.3 kernel oops and then rebooted to stock kernel 4.2 in order to file a bug report (as requested).
