Good news. I've finally managed to find a solution for the Zenbook UX32L. I was running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS although the problem is still persistent in whatever distro you use. I upgraded from the kernel 4.4 to the current mainline version (4.8 RC5) and no random freezes or hangs so far. Now I hope this fix reaches the future versions of Ubuntu.

Mouse, sound (often repeats a small bit of what was played), keyboard freezes. No other TTY can be started. I can not SSH into the frozen computer. Starting virtual machines or running heavy makefiles will induce this freeze, though not reliably. It often takes a couple of tries. When the freeze has happened, if let alone, the laptop will shut itself down because of the heat (reported by kern.log). It has happened with kernels from pre-proposed kernels (2.3.0-27 to 2.3.0-31). Have now installed the default kernel and freezes persist. $ uname -a Linux jonas-zenbook 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 3.2.0-30.48-generic 3.2.27 This is not https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1034358 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic 3.2.0-30.48 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-30.48-generic 3.2.27 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-30-generic x86_64 AcpiTables: Error: command ['gksu', '-D', 'Apport', '--', 'env', '-u', 'LANGUAGE', 'LC_MESSAGES=C', '/usr/share/apport/dump_acpi_tables.py'] failed with exit code -11: AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
