I probably should have put that I have not seen the issue since setting the turn off screen option to never. It has only been a couple of hours since I did that but it is better than before when it would fail within the ~30 minutes that setting was at before.

Now that it is running on 16.04 I have noticed that when I left the PC for a while it locked up. The display was off, the power light on the tower solidly on and the keyboard unresponsive. The Num Lock light was lit but would not respond to key presses, nor would the Caps Lock or Scroll Lock lights. No key presses or short press of a power light would change the system state. The only thing I could do while sat at the PC was hold the power button in to force a power off. When the PC was powered back on everything seemed to be OK. I thought it might be a problem with suspending the PC. I was able to do that manually though. The display went off, the tower fans went quiet and the power light started to blink. Pressing keyboard keys did nothing but a short press of the power button brought the system back online. The only problem being that the Wi-Fi was lost until I restarted the system, not ideal but better than frozen. I attempted to disable the automatic suspend option from the Settings menu but the system still ended up in the frozen state. Next to completely disable suspend by creating a /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.disable- suspend.pkla file as suggested at http://askubuntu.com/questions/452908/how-to-disable-suspend-in-14-04 but the system still ended up frozen. That leaves me to think it was the act of going into the Monitor Disabled state which caused the issue. So I started to report an ubuntu-bug and here I am typing out this description of what I remember doing. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 Memory 2.0 GiB Processor Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4400 @ 2.00 GHz x 2 Graphics Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515 OS type 64-bit Disk 96.6 GB If there are any further diagnostic steps I can take please let me know. This is a personal machine so I can do most things to it. I am a c/c++ software engineer by trade so although I am not great with the GNU Debugger I can do most things with a bit of instruction. I do not do much Ubuntu or Kernel work so links to getting started guides for how to do anything more specific that git clone or make would be appreciated.
