Hi, I just upgraded the kernel using the instructions here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
Now I'm running 4.4.9-040409-generic (according to uname -r).
Since that seems to be your suggestion for other users with this same issue. Let me know if you want me to do something else. I've only been running it for a few minutes, I'll let you know if/when it freezes too.

I now have and issue where grub no longer shows, and I boot straight
into this kernel, so I hope this one works.  :)

Title:
  regular system freeze - 16.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Seems this is common enough to have a few requests on Ask Ubuntu:
  http://askubuntu.com/search?q=16.04+freeze

  I would update my kernel, as suggested, however there are not clear
  instructions and I have had issues doing kernel upgrades in the past.
  The freezes are not Chrome only, as they also occur when Chrome is not
  running, though, from memory, Steam uses some of the same things as
  Chrome.  Once the freeze happens a hard reset (holding down the power
  button) and restarting is the only solution (I can't even open a CLI
  instance).

  Thanks for your time, hope there is a fix soon.  Best regards,

  Taz
