HI Joseph: This was a clean install of 16.04. Although it isn't related, but worth noting, I upgraded the RAM from 3Gb to 4GB. I also replaced the failing HDD on the laptop. I have performed four format and re-installs of 16.04. I'm at the point now that the boot files are corrupted. I can sign in, the screen goes black after login with just the cursor visable.
