No, I didn't upgrade my microcode.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
...
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 78
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6650U CPU @ 2.20GHz
stepping	: 3
microcode	: 0x9e
...

I suppose the problem should be gone if I upgrade the microcode.
But the real problem to me is that the system FREEZES after kernel
upgrade.

thanks,
