I have this problem with Nvidia GeForce 1080 Ti. Driver version 381.22. Ubuntu 16.04, kernel version 4.10.0-33-generic.

[Kjeld Flarup (kjeld-flarup)]

Had the same symptoms with the latest 4.10.0 kernel. It seems to have gone away in 4.13
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.13.0-21

I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
