Public bug reported: I added the x-staging ppa and upgraded my 16.04 system (equipped with AMD W9000) to use the mesa drivers in the upcoming release. After about 15 minutes of emacs, terminal, and chrome usage the screen blanks to grey with blue squares, then to grey, then powers off. I'm logging this here in hopes it will help the upcoming release.
