Daro, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/latitude-e5420/drivers?os=biosa an update to your
computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (A14). 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.

Also, 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:
  Ubuntu 15.10 fails to boot from Sandisk USB stick

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Booting from Sandisk USB stick fails and stops on "device descriptor
  read/64, error -71" and "device not accepting address 6, error -71" on
  Dell Latitude E5420 Laptop. I tried every USB socket but without
  success. Booting with "rootwait" parameter does not help either.
