Hi @GNassro
Welcome to the HP Support forum. Sending you warm Tux greetings 🙂
HP does not officially support Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) on this PC configuration. The issue you report comes probably because the PC tries to go to Sleep or Hibernation mode and it fails to complete this steps (hungs).
I am also Debian/Ubuntu/LM user and I have seen what you desribe with some users and this has long been a known issue with few users (not only in HP but also other PC vendors). As you probably know there is no 100% definite solution with Linux world, so you can try :
- either disable compeltely Stand by (Sleep) mode and Hibernation -> Info:

or
- try with another Ubuntu distro/kernel version (Ubuntu 14 - kernel 3.13/3.19 , not kernel 4 // Linux MInt 17.2 with kernel 3.13 or 3.19 or 4.2 (not 4.4)
Hope this helps
