I made a fresh install. The problem is gone. There were some other weird behaviors. So I made a fresh install. Which worked. It continues to work after updating the kernel.
I don't know what was wrong with the previous installation. The computer seems to be working well now. Thanks for the reply. I will look into testing the 4.16 kernel, but my time is limited. It won't be soon. AB On 02/27/2018 02:47 PM, Joseph Salisbury wrote: > Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer > to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .

After the no network install I set up a second monitor. Then I applied a bunch of level 1 and 2 updates. There were four level 3 updates: systemd 229-4ubuntu21.1, linix-firmware 1.157.16; linux-libc-dev 4.4.0-116.140, and linuxkernel 4.13.0-36.40-16.04.1. I installed them separately and rebooted after each one. After the kernel update the system booted up and briefly showed the sqaure mint logo then both screens went dark.
