The way I would approach this problem is by making boot logs persistent 
[1] so they could be searched for clues (kernel module name, device 
hint, etc) after each boot.
There was an intention from a systemd developers to make persistent logs 
the default, but I'm unsure if that change made it into Debian already.

I also recommend you to check what BIOS version this laptop is using 
currently and update it to most recent one from official Asus support 
website. [2]
Double check if this laptop model (UX501JW) is the same you have.
BIOS update might resolve the issue on the spot.
