I just installed Mint 18.1. All was fine for several sessions. I then used Driver Manager to update NVIDIA driver to 340, the recommended choice. Initially, fine but the system became unstable and would lock up with the display in a rolling crash. So, I switched the driver to 304 legacy choice. The system was stable, but the taskbar and menu became unresponsive. This had also happened under the 340 driver, but I did not get the clue. When I went back to the open source driver, the problem completely disappeared. So, use the open source driver that comes with the install ISO and leave it alone.
