ubuntu 16.04 LTS login loop after updating driver nvidia-396

I have an issue on login to my computer when nvidia-396 is installed. It returns to login screen after giving error message pop up. When I remove the nvidia* and restart lightdm it works fine.

Could you please help me fixing this.

I was able to fix by fully removing nvidia drivers with bumblebee.

sudo apt purge nvidia* bumblebee

And reinstalling

sudo apt install nvidia-396
