Cheers for the reply Christopher I have tested the mainline version 4.10-rc1 kernel, and unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
I will continue to test as I notice new builds. I also didn't realise that my bios was outdated. While I'd like to upgrade, would it help this bug to keep my current bios version?

During the freezes, no mouse input is recorded, and most keyboard input is lost. I'm fairly sure this is a kernel issue, as booting with kernel 4.4.0-31 fixes the issue. This problem is also present in 4.4.0-57. I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with integrated Intel graphics, which aren't the most powerful (they couldn't handle Unity, hence Lubunut). I am running Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, though I have tried a clean install (from the .iso) of Lubuntu 16.10, and this but still appears. The laptop has a4 core i5-6200U processor (2.3 GHz), 8 Gigs of RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake) This does not appear to be a thermal issue, or a processor speed issue (the problem persists weather speed step is enabled in the bios or not), though my testing with processor speed step and kernel performance settings (performance/power save) was at best amateur.
