Thanks for the help,

I have checked the timestamps into the 3 logs : It always corresponds to the successful boot.

"journalctl -b" gives text I can't interpret, anyway it always corresponds to the last boot (successful).

The Bios version is the most up to date one : v301 (13 oct 2016)

The "quiet splash" option doesn't give any output to the screen when removed. I already checked that in the past and I re-tested today. I forgot to mention that the freeze occurs just after the Grub automatic selection. I guess the crash occurs in between Grub and kernel init.

The bios UI is really limited, and I don't remember going there since a long time (except for boot priority). Moreover that bug doesn't occur when the package "intel-microcode" is removed.

Additional hints :
- There is a big chance that I installed Xubuntu from a USB key created with UnetBootin (I saw it gives problem with Debian)
- I am using the rEFInd Boot Manager on top of Grub
