Bug Description

This problem started after I upgraded to the 16.04 Xenial Stack. I got a message "1404_HWE_EOL" and the ubuntu wiki page on the same suggested upgrading to the new stack. With the previous stack, random screen freezes happened, while using wifi, so I thought wifi drivers might be faulty, but now it has started happening while using wired LAN also.
Ubuntu Release: 14.04.5 LTS
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
