Bug Description

When I try to reboot Ubunto Gnome 17.04, I get this bizarre scrambled error text before it shuts off, I took a video of it on youtube. I'm running a Radeon RX 480, an Asus Z170 Pro motherboard and a Skylake processor. I can provide any more information that you would like. I took a video of the process. since it's hard to believe until you see it.

It happens every time, and Windows 10 and Linux Mint didn't do this, so it isn't a hardware stability issue either; the system isn't actually overclocked it just shows that after you look at the BIOS on my motherboard.

(Sorry that it's vertical, YouTube won't let me turn it without installing flash)

Please let me know if you have any questions or need me to test anything.

That is not an error message, its just the normal boot process. However it should be hidden by plymouth (which shows the Ubuntu GNOME logo spinner), which doesnt seem to be running on your machine.

Given that I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 without modificatoin doesn't that imply some sort of issue with the 17.04 release, especially since the gnome logo appears later? The logo also doesnt visuslly spin on either system I instslled 17.04 on, I dont know it that means sometginf is wrong or not.

Also I meant the text that shows during thr shot down not reboot, to clarify.
