Christopher: I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04.1, the oldest version of the 14.04 LTS I could still find online. It installed and worked fine, albeit with old applications. I then upgraded to the 4.8 kernel per your instructions, and after doing a sudo reboot the machine simply refused to restart. The system was so unresponsive that I was unable to capture a screenshot to send you. I have reinstalled Mint 17.3 MATE and consider myself finished with this issue. Kernels newer than 4.2.x do not work on my machine. By the way, the reason I went to Mint was because I like the MATE or the XFCE DEs better than Unity, and the Xubuntu and MATE Ubuntu flavors are not supported as long as 2019. I will likely have to buy a new machine when Mint 17.3 ceases to be supported, but I have time. Meanwhile, I have fairly new apps and a stable system. Thanks for your efforts, anyway.
