I have the same problem in my Dell Precision M4500 running Ubuntu 17.10 when using Nouveau driver but when using NVIDIA drivers I get a black screen right after login. And like this posts says, when using the nouveau driver, the system freezes.
I posted a question in askubuntu.com with all the details including the symptoms and the counter measures I tried. You can find this post here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1025393/ubuntu-17-10-and-18-04-beta-2-display-driver-issues-freezing-black-screen-after
[System Configuration]
Dell Precision M4500
Intel Core i7 740QM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M
(Upgrades)
Ram +16GB
SSDs
WiFi 802.11ac
One other thing I tried not clear in my post is that this issue happens in clean new installations as the only system, no dual boot.
I don't know what else to try so please, if know what else I can try ask ahead.
Thank you,
