Looking though the FWTS results, I see that the most recent microcode is not being loaded. 
Attempting to fix that runs me into https://bugs.launchpad.net/initramfs-tools/+bug/1194370

Title:
  [Dell Latitude D420] Faulty laptop battery or AC throws system cache
  for a loop

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a random period of time after a fresh boot, the system cache
  gets corrupted. This is shown by hdparm -T.

  Before system cache corruption:
   Timing cached reads:   1804 MB in  2.00 seconds = 902.88 MB/sec

  After system cache corruption:
   Timing cached reads:   258 MB in  2.00 seconds = 129.10 MB/sec

  Either the system battery or the AC adaptor is not functioning
  correctly, the Dell bios at times indicates that the AC adaptor is not
  a valid Dell product, though it is. In any case, the battery does not
  charge, but remains at 0%.
