I started out this morning by installing and attempting to boot into the
following kernels:

v4.3-rc3-unstable - Boot process would begin but would not complete
v4.3-rc2-unstable - Same as above
v4.3-rc1-unstable - Same as above
v4.2.3-unstable - Boot process completed however I noticed when switching desktop windows a flickering of the video

Currently running kernel 4.2.3-040203-generic #201510030832 SMP Sat Oct
3 12:34:31 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux at 9:06am 03 Oct
2015.

Will continue to monitor system for video freezes and report if any happen. 
Is there anything else you wish me to do?

Title:
  Periodically video will freeze for no reason at all and no specific
  time between freezes.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  What I expect to happen is the video to not freeze every so often.
  What happened is that the video froze. This has been going on for over a year. It doesn't matter if I have any applications open such as Evolution or Firefox. It could happen any time during the day when I'm working on the computer or during the night when it's the most idle. Once the video freezes the cursor can still be moved around the desktop however clicking on anything does not work. During this time all background process and cronjobs continue to run.
