This happens to me on a desktop with Nvidia GTX 750 ti. Installing 16.10
works until the driver is installed and then it is no longer bootable.
The solution is to use the older driver. You are offered 361.42 (which
causes the problem) but the other one 340.96 works fine.
Incidentally Ubuntu 16.10 on another ssd uses 361.42 which is also fine

Bug description:
Using latest Ubuntu Gnome x64 daily build with all updates installed.
Lenovo Z70-80 laptop with Nvidia 840M, BIOS updated to latest version, secure
boot and other potentially problematic BIOS settings disabled.
Can only see a black screen instead of a log-in screen after boot completes
when proprietary Nvidia drivers are installed.
Regular Ubuntu works absolutely fine on the same machine with the same driver
version. Attempting to use older drivers on Ubuntu Gnome made no difference.
Bug is affecting more than just me. We were talking about workarounds
in ubuntuforums. User fthx claims that switching to lightdm fixes the
issue
