Mike, After the BIOS update, do you have any "microcode" entries in the kernel log? Could you send them to the bug report? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them. In the Land of Redmond where the shadows lie." --

I had exactly the same issue with an ASUS UX305CA ultrabook. Downgrading to the previous version of intel-microcode resolved it for me as well. I was able to get intel-microcode 3.20160607.1 working by upgrading from UX305CA.205 to UX305CA.300 BIOS revision from ASUS. --- # dmidecode 3.0
