I have upgraded my BIOS to 2.65 and will report back with any further crashes.

This crash occurred again today, again while playing full screen video in Google Chrome. Here's the output of the requested commands:

Paul Gear, any improvement with http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ?

I've encountered this issue twice today.
I had done a clean 15.10 install perhaps ~2 weeks ago and this is the first day such an event occurred.

I too use Chrome, HOWEVER, I found it happened first when I was using Kodi 16.
I do see an update from my ASRock H97M-ITX/ac 1.70 in May to an August 1.80 which I'll try, but considering I had not had the issue in 15.04, I have my doubts.

There is no consistency I can see in each occurrence.

Vindicator, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please ensure you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

OK, I was going to publish a new bug report last night after it happened again with Kodi (bios update didn't fix it), but I got a notice of new updates which included a kernel 4.2-19 and display manager update, so hopefully it is a known issue that was fixed there.

I'm getting this error for 16.04, since upgrading to latest HWE Kernel 4.8.0-39. Note that I also updated the Xorg packages to

xserver-xorg-*-hwe-16.04.

On top of that, I can also confirm that I get the error message

"Invalid core dump: BFD: Warning: /tmp/apport_core_aiu21o8t
is truncated: expected core file size"

That message is reported after every reboot.

Thomas Mayer (thomas303), it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
