Right.  Have installed 4.4.6.  I appear to have a working computer!!!!  

Thanks to all, especially Steve and Henrique.  I'll flash the BIOS when I see 
another version of the firmware available, but meanwhile all seems great - 
though I obviously don't know yet how stable.  Even sound is now working!!

The solution in this case:
Skylake i5 with Giga-Byte GA-H110M-S2H, DDR4 version.
re-flash BIOS
Install backported kernel.

Now running Jessie with TDE 14.0.3.

If I could do so without waking my husband (it is 3:20 a.m. in my timezone) 
and upsetting my hips I would dance a jig. :-))
