Clevo P650RE Running Ubuntu 16.06 - Stuck NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a problem with installing a NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu 16.04. I've been reading whelming of forum and blog, although, nothing help me yet.

I'm using a Clevo P650RE laptop, which the bellow configuration:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 3GB
Core i7-6700HQ Processor (6M Cache up to 3.50 GHz)
32GB DDR4 2400MHZ Memory

After installation of Ubuntu 16.04, a popup is showed with the follow message: "Installation is complete, You need to restart the computer in order to use the new installation"

Thus, I click on the button "Restart Now", then the laptop get stuck and I'm obligated to hold the button power and force the restart.

When I get the Login Screen and type my password then the Ubuntu gets stuck,then once again I have to hold the power button.

I saw the bellow procedure:

To start Ubuntu into safe mode (Recovery Mode) and remove the NVIDIA driver type at terminal:

$ apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

After it, I could pass the login screen and I got able to use some application such as Firefox, however, when I click on System Settings, then the Ubuntu stuck again and the only way I have is holding the power bottom.

I tried to install the NVIDIA driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run):
LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER
Version: 367.35
Release Date: 2016.7.15
Operating System: Linux 64-bit
Language: English (US)
File Size: 72.1 MB

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well.

Does someone has an idea for this issue?

Thank you in advanced.
