In Synaptic PM I clicked on to 'Mark All Upgrades' which initiated upgrading the kernel. However the erratic CPU usage continued and the error message remained.
I decided to wipe the disk partition with Gparted, re-installed Maui, upgraded the kernel to version 4.4.0-83-generic and am happy to report that the system is now working smoothly with no temperamental CPU usage. But the error message is still popping up during boot process (which I shall ignore). All's OK now!
