Been seeing this sporadically since 17.04 upgrade. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 running the proprietary driver, so it isn't nouveau in my case. Only common activity that sticks in my mind is that it seems to have occurred for me when (or shortly after) doing something with VirtualBox - starting a VM, doing something in VM. VM is set to hog 2 of my 4 cores.
Doesn't always happen - right now, usual desktop/apps and Windows7 VM seem to be running fine. I think I've seen it 3-4 times in 1.5 weeks of light usage. When it does happen, I still have mouse, but everything else is hit or miss - sometimes I can alt-tab, sometimes not, sometimes taskbar thingy pops up but does nothing, sometimes I can switch apps. I think each time there was a momentary audio screwup, but then the audio picks up and plays fine.

[kerneloops:814] Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 and my computer (ASUS M32BF) will randomly freeze up, sometimes before the login screen, sometimes while I'm in the middle of using a program. This sometimes happens on the Wily 15.10 live cd as well, and on both kernel 4.3.0-2, and kernel 4.2.0-22.

This might have something to do with networking, because the soft lockups appear happen immediately before or after some network-related stuff. nm-applet says NetworkManager is not running, but "service network-manager status" says it is. "service network-manager stop" does not work, and I need to "kill -9" the pids for the processes. After starting the service after killing it, it the nm-applet's "Edit Connection" works for a few moments, then it won't delete any connections, and when closed, it won't re-open. At then end "kill -9" won't even work anymore (the processes get parented to init, but do not die). Usually, however, I never even see the login screen. I've been able to boot into the Wily livecd by using Windows 10 -> Shift-Restart -> UEFI Settings -> then booting my USB with the livecd (often soft lockups without going through windows).
