A black window covers almost the entire desktop.
It looks like a broken terminal window.

I thought that the cause might be Intel proprietary drivers so I removed it, but that did not help.

Also, I noticed that the system boots without logo Ubuntu.

When I choose a particular kernel in GRUB (4.2.0-19), everything work fine, the problem does not occur.

When I start with the default kernel (4.2.0-35) I have this black window on my desktop.

I added a camera picture because when I made the screenshot, the black windows cannot be seen as if it were not there at all.

My computer is HP 530 Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2.

I will add that I am new to Linux.

I have resolved my problem. Launched Xdiagnose located in /usr/share/applications and selected Disable bootloader graphics.
