Thanks Christopher,

I just upgraded my BIOS from version A00 to A05. So far everything seems
to work great. I never knew a BIOS bug could affect an operating system.
But these new EFI BIOSs are very different from the old BIOSs i grew up
with so i'm not really sure how they work. Apparently more integration
(which in this case was not a good thing).

But anyway, so far it seems i can use my browser with multiple tabs and
multiple videos running no problem. No freezes. As of this time i will
go ahead and mark this bug as invalid as you requested. I assume if i
have any more problems i can come back and change the status later.

Again thanks for the tip to update my BIOS.

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 consistently freezes up / hangs

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading from stock Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 my laptop
  consistently freezes up and is unresponsive to keyboard or mouse. The
  only way is to do a hard shutdown. I'm usually in a browser when this
  happens, and often watching a video or two. It seems to happen more
  often in Google Chrome than Firefox, but it happens with both. It has
  happened at least once with no videos loaded. I haven’t observed it
  freeze / hang when I’m not in a browser, but that's mainly what i use
  my laptop for, so that's where most of my time is spent.
