I upgraded my system with a Geforce 1060 three weeks ago and after I installed the necessary NVIDIA driver everything was running fine. But after couple of days Ubuntu(16.04 LTS 64bit) booted with the lowest possible resolution and stucked in a login loop.

I switched to the command line and went through the logs but strangely, could not find anything suspicious. I googled and went through all the suggestion you find when you google for "Ubuntu stuck in login loop", but nothing solved my problem.

Eventually I reinstalled the NVIDIA driver and got the GUI running again. But now, every 4 to 6 days, I have got to go through the same process, Ubuntu stucks in login and I have to install the NVIDIA driver again.

Does anybody have similar problems?

Either install the nvidia through the additional drivers settings or install dkms before you install the drivers next time so that you won't have to reinstall them afterwards.

If you install drivers manually from a .run file, you need to re-install it after each kernel upgrade.

The correct way to install Nvidia drivers is from Ubuntu repositories or a PPA. The drivers are packed a way that they are rebuilt when you do a kernel upgrade.
