Also affect ubuntu 16.04 64 bit
I just installed ubuntu 16.04.1 64 bit (complete vanilla)
1. apt-get upgrade
2. apt-get dist-upgrade
3. install nvidia proprietary driver from "System settings -> Software & updates -> Additional Drivers" (current driver is 367.57- marked "proprietary, tested").
4. reboot
5. blank screen as described above.

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
