As Asus ROG user i'm aware of ongoing struggle with Nvidia driver, which
is in conflict with Devian-based systems (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=nvidia-driver;dist=unstable
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852152  ).

I disable NVidia card editing boot config

(Restart your computer and enter BOIS (hold down f2)
Change boot priority to boot to your USB Stick first.
Save and reboot
When the grub boot loader menu is visible highlight “Try Ubuntu GNOME without
installing” (use your up and down arrows)
 Press “e” on your keyboard, this will allow you to edit the boot config.
nouveau.modeset=0 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 acpi_osi=Linux
i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 idle=nomwait

Run the command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get 
-y
dist-upgrade
Remove all Nvidia installs(if any), run this command: 
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
 Run the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-361-updates nvidia-prime
 Reboot: sudo reboot

I used boot-repair software https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ 
It was indispensable

Title:
  4.4.0-116 Kernel update on 2/21 breaks Nvidia drivers (on 14.04 and
  16.04) by an insufficient compiler!

Status in gcc:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running fine with nvidia-384 until this kernel update came along.
  When booted into the new kernel, got super low resolution and nvidia-
  settings was missing most of its functionality - could not change
  resolution.

  Rebooted into 4.4.0-112 kernel and all was well.

  The root cause of the problem has been found to be installing the -116
  kernel without a sufficiently updated version of gcc.  In my case, my
  system received the gcc update AFTER the kernel update.

  Uninstalling the -116 kernel and reinstalling it with the updated
  version of gcc solved the problem for me.
