On a clean Ubuntu 16.04 desktop install, I'm encountering total system freeze (tty+ssh down) as soon as I login (during the fade animation). The system is a recent Intel NuC (Nuc6i5) with a Skylake processor. Looks like the GPU is crashing somehow.
I'm trying to troubleshoot the issue but I can't find anything valuable in the logs. So far I've looked at:
/var/log/syslog/var/log/Xorg.0.logand/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
I can grasp the last moments of /var/log/syslog with SSH:
