@Richard.

you mean the firmware files ?
i did install those files, manually, yes.
But i have no idea which "manager tool" you could be referring to.
Concerning "the official intel graphics driver":
i am using xf86-video-intel with sna , like almost everyone here is probably doing.
i tried sna, uxa xaa, also disabling dri or used ilo for dri.
ubuntu(mint) is not my main system, i just have an old linux mint system on a partition i don't use anymore but that has exactly the same kernel problems. i am running gentoo linux.
i tried the intel video driver and modules with nearly all the options (xorg config file, kernel module options for i915 etc) on mint and on gentoo, and i can almost certainly say that the system freezes have nothing to do with it.
anyway, i am running now kernel 4.4.0-rc6 with extra cmdline parameter "intel_idle.max_cstate=1" and all seems to be good. it is the 3rd day now without freezing i believe.
Thank you for your explanation with the cstate. yes, it is a limitation but i still prefer running the newer kernel with lower performance than having the old 4.1 kernel

Title:
  [Acer Aspire ES1-311] Ubuntu freezes occasionally

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 15.10 and my notebook freezes occasionally. I had
  the same issue with Ubuntu 15.04, but I thought that 15.10 might
  change it. I am running Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire ES1-311 (P1D5).

  I have no clue what causes this, my system just freezes and I can't do
  anything anymore. ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work as well as alt+print+REISUB
  doesn't work either. It's just frozen. I have to power down manually.

  Last time I was programming only with a gnome-terminal and atom
  (editor) opened. I checked some log files but I couldn't find anything
  suspicious.

  Any ideas?
