I've modified grub with "nomodeset" - did not work. Removed "quiet, splash" - did not work add "set gfxpayload=text" - got some output to the screen, but not can't tell what it does and I have no idea where the data is stored - and then blank screen. disabled vesa frame buffer (vesafb.nonsense=1) - did not work My graphic HW: GTX 960 For now, I purged nvidia driver and the system is running well. I am sure the card is working properly because up until 3 days ago it had ubuntu 14.04 installed on it with nvidia driver active. Then there was an update which caused the same blank screen on 14.04. I decided to install 16.04 fresh (over the 14.04). I hoped the blank screen issue will disappear with 16.04, but it turns out it doesn't. If you need me to run some tests, I'll be more then happy to do so. I installed openssh-server on my machine, so I think I might be able to ssh into it from another machine while its in blank screen (did not test this).
