Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

On my ASUS X751L, this results in my LVDS+external VGA displays to regularly go to sleep/energy saving mode (even when being actively used) or to "scramble". As a consequence, I reverted to kernel 4.2.0-35-generic. This worked very well until I dist-upgraded last thursday. Now, the computer crashes regularly, notably when it is (xscreensaver-)locked (mostly while executing the "molecule" (OpenGL) screensaver). I'm not sure if the crash occurs because of kernel, xscreensaver or an mplayer script I run with cron to play a beep every hour (don't ask why...). This is a critical crash, so I assume there is a security issue behind...
