Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 desktop with all updates up to date
Gigagyte GA-Z170 motherboard, Intel i7-6700 3.4gHz, 64GB RAM, Samsung 840 SSD,
Gigabyte GEForce GT710 graphics (nvidia chipset)
Very light load. A few terminal windows, a few Firefox pages,
Thunderbird, and VirtualBox (with the extension pack loaded) running one
small Linux VM with 512Mb memory (very lightly loaded as it's only
running bind9). I think (but don't have perfect certainty on this) that
some of the crashes have happened without VirtualBox running. Also
running rsync so that backuppc on a separate machine can back it up over
the network (backuppc has been a real lifesaver with all the
reinstallations!)
After booting the system runs happily for a while then the GUI freezes.
This can take a few hours or up to a day or two. You can still ssh into
the system, and if you do "top" it typically shows 100% CPU load on
systemd-timesync.
The same happens whether I use nouveau or the proprietary nvidia driver (361)
I have tried a complete reinstallation (4 times already, starting to get quite
frustrating) using the proprietary drivers and NOT using the proprietary
drivers and the same still happens. The most recent time was with nouveau, and
Xorg.log has a number of entries like this:
(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing. Additional events will be discarded until existing
events are processed.

Gigagyte GA-Z170 motherboard, Intel i7-6700 3.4gHz, 64GB RAM, Samsung 840
