Thread moved to Installation & Upgrades.

You are wanting help to fix this issue correct and not just report it?

Boot to your BIOS and try switching off the internal graphics (the Intel HD) so it picks up only the GTX card. Ubuntu shouldn't have an issue with the GTX 960m (my wife's machine is running one and we did nothing, just installed Ubuntu).

I can't disable graphic card there isn't any similar option

I upgraded the other night to 17.04, and was left with a computer that would only boot into recovery mode. I have an ASUS ZX50V with an nvidia gtx 960m processor, and found a good work around.

First add the nomodeset to grub to hopefully boot up....followed the nomodeset instructions here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132

Secondly, I added the proprietary drivers repository with:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update

Thirdly, I opened up the Additional Drivers tab in Software & Updates Settings. I then chose the proprietary nvidia 375.89 driver.

Fourthly, removed nomodeset leaving just "quiet splash" from the grub file along with an update-grub. Restarted. And booted up normally.
