Display freezing in Ubuntu 16.10

Asked by bhaskar

Recently i installed Ubuntu 16.10 on dell inspiron 1525 laptop and the problem is that the display is freezing sometimes after entering the login credentials. And after freezing it never login to the unity desktop and displays the ubuntu default wallpaper and after that i am doing forced shutdown. The following are my laptop hardware details for your reference and also i am using intel display driver for my ubuntu.

I suggest you test your RAM using Memtest86 from GRUB

Memtest86 is not reporting any errors. But what i am guessing some hud-display library has problem and frequently it is showing as error during startup.
