I really have updated to BIOS v302 from Asus website. It is roughly around the time the problems started, but I *think* I have been able to boot with the new BIOS before. So probably some change in kernel/microcode in addition to that?

yes. Both cases: (updated BIOS + liquorix kernel) or (dis_ucode_ldr + ubuntu kernel) work for me.
