Same problem here on Lenovo Thinkpad P71 with Nvidia Quadro P3000.
After connecting one ore more monitors (whether over hdmi, dvi or dp) via the Docking Station, all displays will turn black and flicker.
The only way to get the system back is to take the P71 out of the dock.
I have testet diffrent settings (additional bumblebee, prime, ...) and diffrent desktops (Ubuntu, Gnome, Cinnamon) nothing helps.
After many restarts and plug in and unplug the monitors again, the displays will be identified right and showing the desktop. But after changing the nvidia settings (e.g. monitor position) or readd the P71 to the dock, all monitors will turn black and flicker.

I use Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and the currently latest proprietary nvidia driver 384.59.

Is there a way to get it to run?
