Public bug reported:

Running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 Beta1.

Installing the proprietary drivers (either the tested or the updates)
one results in: the splash screen goes away, revealing all the console
output (with mostly green OKs) and the console log-in. This whole thing
then flashes on and off and the system seems a little too upset to
receive keyboard input. There is no mouse. The only way out is a hard
reset, or if networking got started you can sometimes SSH in and issue a
shutdown that way.

The Nvidia driver is  361.28-0ubuntu1

It's a Dell xps-15 9550 with the UHD 4k screen.

To restore the system I have to boot to root console from the grub menu and 
then remove the nvidia stuff.
