You got some error in the boot log about an unknown stepping function,
right? Then an older, faulty version of the Intel driver loaded in its

I have a 1-month old Acer Aspire F5-573-58VX that came with Win-10

After booting today, I used SSH from another machine (successfully
logging in). Unfortunately, when the laptop froze, so did my ssh
session. The terminal was not "disconnected by host", but it was inert.
The laptop has quieted, but not completely silent. Something is whirring
@V: Did you upgrade to 16.10, or did you do a fresh install? Check what
kernel version you ended up with. If less than 4.6, get a fresh install
image of 16.10 with kernel 4.8 (or else follow a recipe for upgrading
your kernel).
Avoid the bug by choosing a command line boot level (stay out of the
