Ales, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6943827&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(1.16). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

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, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Freeze after kernel upgrade to 4.0.23

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After the recent kernel upgrade 2.4.0-23 the computer freezes (see the
  screenshot) and I'm not able to login neither into a graphic mode nor
  the text console.

  When I try previous kernel 4.2.0-22 the result is the same even if it
  worked before.

  When I go to the recovery mode (Grub menu > Advanced options > Linux
  4.2.0-23-generic (recovery mode)) and just select "Resume normal boot"
  it boots as normal and I can login into KDE. But I guess it is in some
  non accelerated graphics mode.
