Freezes happen on Intel PCs only here, whilst AMD PCs don't.
Could more people test this, please?

Disabling the VT-x virtualization option (#15) often isn't an option since 64 Bit guests do need the host to have this option enabled.

I'm fully agreeing with Pedro Côrte-Real's (#16) suggestion that upgrading Ubuntu 16.04's package "virtualbox 5.0.40" to at least 5.1 would be very helpful since otherwise all standard Ubuntu 16.04 HWE (Intel) installations won't be able to run Virtualbox anymore because of the freezing with Kernel 4.13 .
