Also occurring here in ubuntu 16.04 LTS with symptoms similar to
original report: Upon attempting to run "Browser" the computer freezes.
The mouse may move but there is no response to anything other than mouse
cursor movement and long hold power button to reboot. Since previously a
question was asked about graphics, here are some details:
Dell Inspiration 5566
Intel Core™ i3-7100U @2.40GHz × 4
Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)
Laptop has one physical drive.
Windows 7 is installed in an NTFS partition using the first half of the drive.
Ubuntu is installed on the remaining half of the drive with default
partitioning.
There have been no other apparent problems running this configuration
(in either Ubuntu or Windows).
