Title:
  Frequent crash at startup after upgrading intel-microcode package

Status in intel-microcode package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Release: 18.04) works fine on
  my Asus Zenbook UX333FN. After automatic updates, the system becomes
  unstable and frequently (but not always) crashes at startup on a
  velvet screen. I have updated a few packages at a time, and I think I
  have identified the cause in package intel-microcode.

  On a fresh install, updating this single package (intel-microcodes
  version 3.20180807a.0ubuntu0.18.4.1 to version
  3.20190514.0ubuntu0.18.04.3) creates the problem. Updating all other
  packages and NOT intel-microcodes does not create the problem.

  There is an old bug on launchpad (#1781806) about updating intel-
  microcode, but symptoms as well as package number and distro are
  different - do not know if this is relevant.
