dmesg and journalctl logs

Randomly the mouse and keyboard lockup.  I have to reboot to free them up.
When the lock up occurs nothing on the screen is updated.  The clock display
does not advance.  Any scrolling text in a terminal window appears to stop.
I've been on web-based conference calls when the system locks up.  A small
snippet of sound loops and replays until I reboot.

I received this laptop Jan/Feb 2015.  I installed Fedora 24.  It ran without issue until this spring 2016 at which time randomly every couple of weeks the keyboard and mouse started locking up.  This behavior has gotten worse over time.  I sometimes get screen lockup several times a day now.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

   hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad W541
   Serial Number: R90JDB11
   Type 20EG
   OS: Fedora 24 

How reproducible:

I have not found anyway to reliable reproduce the failure.
If there is any software I can run to capture the problem, I would
be glad to run it.

At this point I think we are reaching the end of what we can help with
over email and someone needs to help with hands-on to see what is going
on.      .....

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs.

Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.10.9-100.fc24.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
