First , if you consist to Debian stable, you can add backports in you
sources.list.
The following kernel is from jessie-backports.
linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64/stable,now 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2 amd64
[installed,automatic]
Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
linux-image-4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64/jessie-backports,jessie-backports
4.2.6-3~bpo8+2 amd64
Linux 4.2 for 64-bit PCs
linux-image-4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64/jessie-backports,jessie-backports
4.3.3-2~bpo8+1 amd64
Linux 4.3 for 64-bit PCs
The third kernel is suitable for you?
Second, if you change the your sources to testing , or even unstable, there are
more kernels you can test.
