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. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2105 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/998895 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.
