Dennis, there was a delay. At least 15 minutes. And it didn't start up normally. It never showed the Dell screen. It never showed the Xubuntu screen. It just showed the DDR3 and Master/Slave stuff. Then that disappeared and 'Loading Operating System' came on, then the screen went black and a 'no input signal' came on. Only after 15 minutes or so and only after I rolled the mouse did the screen come on (fully opened).

That sounds to me like a video configuration issue, as though Ubuntu was trying to use a particular configuration, failing, and finally giving up and using a known good default setting.
Since the screen that actually appeared later is what Greg wanted, the known good default is just fine, and Ubuntu should use it in the first place.

The computer no longer boots from the power switch. It only boots from the GRUB loader and only the 15.10 kernel. Not the two 16.04 kernels that are there. It used to boot from the power switch to the latest 16.04 kernel but no longer does.
