I have similar experiences since I upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04. I can no longer suspend or hibernate, the screen goes black but the PC stays on, heating up and triggering the fan after a while.
When I run Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.2.0-35-generic (which was still installed) instead of kernel 4.4.0-21-generic, the problem does not occur, so I've uninstalled 4.4.0-21-generic for now until there's a better solution. I have no kernel versions in between available in my package manager.

Suspend/resume worked flawlessly with linux image 4.4.0-15, and after standard upgrade yesterday (5/04/2016) which installed image 4.4.0-16, the system freezes when attempting a suspend. I get no response from the system (nor keyboard, nor screen, nor touchpad), but it gets very hot, so that it must be running something. Booting with 4.4.0-15 makes the suspend to work perfectly.
