While taking no view on the cause of the problem, I would
recommend that you eliminate a kernel problem by running
version 16 of the kernel.
You should barely need to lift a finger to achieve this,
because version 16 should (a) still be installed, and
(b) be listed in the Grub menu under "Advanced options".
Cheers,
David.
