I ask this question after 3 months continue observation of my system.
I'm facing a problem with a fresh Ubuntu installation.
Problem
- Ubuntu hangs without any reason, showing no error message.
- Sometimes Ubuntu works very well and do any heavy work very effective. ex. Video Editing etc, the freezing is not related to that.
- Only power button work just for forcefully manual power off the machine.
Behaviour
- CPU cooling fan noise and rotate faster as compare to normal Ubuntu 14.04 or any other OS.
- Screen just freezes, doesn't go black. In Ubuntu 14.04 screen converted into black color and many times Ubuntu recover from hang mode but in Ubuntu 16.04 there is no way to come back from the frozen state.
- After restart Ubuntu works well but later the same problem occurs.
I tried
I ran update as well as upgrade commands many times, because many times that solved problems, but this time that trick has not worked.
sudo apt-get install update upgrade
Configuration and Architecture of my Laptop:-
i386
Aspire E15 : E5-511-P7UX
Intel Pentium quad core processor N3530 (up to 2.58 GHz)
Intel HD Graphics
2GB DDR3 L Memory
500 GB HDD.
There is no hardware problem as per my observation because in the same machine when I use any other Operating there is no problem.
I also read these questions:

deletes cached apt downloads that in no conceivable way could be related to the reported issue.
