Bug Description
Running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 Beta1.
Installing the proprietary drivers (either the tested or the updates) one results in: the splash screen goes away, revealing all the console output (with mostly green OKs) and the console log-in. This whole thing then flashes on and off and the system seems a little too upset to receive keyboard input. There is no mouse. The only way out is a hard reset, or if networking got started you can sometimes SSH in and issue a shutdown that way.
The Nvidia driver is 361.28-0ubuntu1
It's a Dell xps-15 9550 with the UHD 4k screen.

Please note that because my system is unresponsive WITH this package installed, I had to run apport-bug when they were NOT installed, so some of the above may not be relevant!
Very happy to provide other logs from my system or to try anything (although I'm not clever enough to start compiling kernels or such!).
