You might want to try increasing the swappiness to 100, and make your swap file or part at least 2g. It sounds goofy but the swap runs slower than the ddr and it can help ease the cpu into the heavy apps rather than force feed it into turbo mode and crash it out of its oc length.

Everything Ubuntu 16.xx 64bit derived has problems with this little tweaked cpu, though I had reasonable success with a 2.8 LL/64 and windows 7/64 dual boot on a similar HP laptop, success being defined as LL running substantially faster than windows7. Debian8 will run okay on it but you'll need a full dvd set installer that you can pre-seed, not a unet bootin download just to install it in a reasonable amount of time. Also, just so you know, the cpu demands for Firefox and VLC are even higher in LXLE than LL, so its not worth experimenting with. IMHO, LL is the most efficient 64/OS as far as XFCE distros.
