Frank, it's always best for security and bug fixes to keep the BIOS current, as an outdated BIOS can cause various OS related issues, and exposes your computer to security vulnerabilities. For help on updating, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate .
Once it is updated, please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651830 Title: Intel HD Graphics 520 lagging after kernel upgrade Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading to kernel version 4.4.0-53 on a clean install of Lubuntu, I have experienced a persistent problem where the desktop graphics (or any graphics when not using tty 1 to 6) appear to lag or freeze every 1 to 2 seconds for between 0.5 to 1 second. 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.
