Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.
I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any
activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently
maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s)
otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days

Title:
PC freeze when turning off screen
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have an ubuntu 16.04 PC which was recently upgraded from
10.something to 12.04 and then to 16.04 (I think that is how it went,
it was a two day thing with me checking on it now and again to say
yes. Now that it is running on 16.04 I have noticed that when I left
the PC for a while it locked up. The display was off, the power light
on the tower solidly on and the keyboard unresponsive. The Num Lock
light was lit but would not respond to key presses, nor would the Caps
Lock or Scroll Lock lights. No key presses or short press of a power
light would change the system state. The only thing I could do while
sat at the PC was hold the power button in to force a power off.
When the PC was powered back on everything seemed to be OK.
I thought it might be a problem with suspending the PC. I was able to
do that manually though. The display went off, the tower fans went
quiet and the power light started to blink. Pressing keyboard keys
did nothing but a short press of the power button brought the system
back online. The only problem being that the Wi-Fi was lost until I
restarted the system, not ideal but better than frozen.
I attempted to disable the automatic suspend option from the Settings
menu but the system still ended up in the frozen state. Next to
completely disable suspend by creating a
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.disable-
suspend.pkla file as suggested at
http://askubuntu.com/questions/452908/how-to-disable-suspend-in-14-04
but the system still ended up frozen.
That leaves me to think it was the act of going into the Monitor
Disabled state which caused the issue. So I started to report an
ubuntu-bug and here I am typing out this description of what I
remember doing.
$ lsb_release -rd

If there are any further diagnostic steps I can take please let me
know. This is a personal machine so I can do most things to it. I am
a c/c++ software engineer by trade so although I am not great with the
GNU Debugger I can do most things with a bit of instruction. I do not
do much Ubuntu or Kernel work so links to getting started guides for
how to do anything more specific that git clone or make would be
appreciated.
