I have an HP Envy , model # m7-k211dx 5th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-5500U processor & NVIDIA GeForce 840M graphics. I have been having issues for the last couple of days where I had to avoid using the 36-generic kernel, the only way it would boot is if I chose a previous kernel version. Otherwise it would hang on a purple screen. after reading what bachmann wrote, I booted the laptop to a previous kernel and performed a regular update and am glad to say it worked for me as well!
