After hitting bug 1633172 and the workaround putting me in a worse state than the initial bug, I started from scratch with Xenial. That worked for a short 24 hours.

Then this morning, I got an update for my nvidia drivers. After I upgraded the drivers, I could no longer boot into ubuntu with kernel 4.4.0-45-generic. If I booted with kernel 4.4.0-31-generic, I no longer had an issue.

Tried setting nomodeset in grub, but to no effect.
