seeker5528, in order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the 
issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream 
kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? 
Please keep in mind the following:
1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the 
daily folder).
2) The release names are irrelevant.
3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was 
released upstream.
4) Install instructions are available at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .

If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may:
1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there.
2) Backup, or clone the primary install.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't 
boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue 
to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. 
Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version 
specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please 
add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil 
icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is
the release candidate number if it exists.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically
requested to do so.

It is most helpful that after testing of the latest upstream kernel is
complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed.

Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test
the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available.

Thank you for your help.

** Description changed:

- If I connect my monitor to my computer with a VGA cable, I have to stop
- at the grub menu and add 'nomodeset' to the kernel options with all the
- 4.4.0-* kernels.
- 
- If I do not add 'nomodeset' to the kernel options, my monitor goes
+ If I connect my monitor to my computer with a VGA cable my monitor goes
  blank, complains of no video signal, then goes to sleep as soon as the
  kernel attempts to enable mode setting.
  
  Turning the monitor off and back on does not help, unplugging the VGA
  cable and connecting the DVI cable does not help. I have to hit
  'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Del' and wait for the computer to restart or hit the power
  button and wait for the computer to shutdown.

- to add 'nomodeset' to the kernel options, everything works as expected.
+ If I connect the monitor to the computer with a DVI cable, everything

  I do not have the option for HDMI on the monitor currently attached.
- Will see if I can get that tested either with another monitor or DVI to
- HDMI adapter.

+ WORKAROUND:  Add to the grub menu kernel parameter:
+ nomodeset
