It looks like our bisect when wrong if that kernel with the reverts doesn't fix the bug. I'll review what kernels were reported good vs bad and see where we could have gone wrong.

I can blindly login and it boots but I cannot use the display (external monitor through HDMI). I've looked online for an answer to this issue but could not find a solution. However, many people report this issue in forums with the 4.4x kernel. On my main computer, I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1. On this computer I was able to switch back to the 3.13 kernel which *does work*. On the same computer, if I use a 16.04 live CD, it does the same thing. The screen goes blank. UEFI may be part of the issue as well. I have it disabled in bios (set to legacy mode) but when I first boot, it seems to go into UEFI mode first and then, after rebooting with <ctrl><alt><delete> it shows me the list of kernels. I can select the kernel from there but if I use a 4.4x kernel, it blanks out at encryption passphrase screen. There are also people with similar issues on AskUbuntu. Here's some basic HW info.
