Prasanna Kumar, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-
and-netbooks/thinkpad-l-series-laptops/thinkpad-l430 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.63). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  Screen freezes when I watch video in VLC media player. Moving mouse is
  of no use and Ctrl + Alt + T short cut does not launch terminal. But I
  Could hear the audio even after screen freeze.
  
  If I press Ctrl + Alt + F1 and wait for several minutes switches to
  console. Then switching to GUI brings back the screen and I am able to
  work as usual.
