I did another test: 1. I installed Linux Mint 18.0 (Sarah) which is based on Xenial (vanilla installation) 2. I updated the system (recommended updates) 3. Installed Nvidia driver 367.57 - system not broken ! everything works 4. installed Intel proprietary driver (it was in the additional drivers - intel-microcode (3.20151106.1) - Then the system broke again. 5. At this point I tended to believe that the problem was in the combination of intel-microdcode package and nvidia-367 package 6. I remember that Ubuntu 16.04 comes automatically installed with intel-microcode package, so I decided to expand my test. I reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04.1 fresh. 7. I updated the system (software update). 8. I removed intel-microcode usage (using the "additional drivers" option to disable that device) 9. reboot. 10. install nvidia-367 driver (from additional drivers) - reboot. 11. system is still broken (blank screen, can't reach login at all, no TTY, can't even ssh, even though openssh was installed).
