nvidia - Can't login after installing graphics driver?

After updating the bios and installing Ubuntu 16.04 I went to install the Nvidia 375 graphics driver for my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 graphics card. Everything appeared to install correctly so I went to restart the computer to complete installation.



On reaching the login screen I attempt to login but am displayed with this message:

"/dev/sda2: clean, 223731/20229632 files, 3079056/112906752 blocks"



The message appears for less than a second before I am returned to the login screen.



I found the following questions with the same issue:
My Ubuntu is running fsck on every bootup
/dev/sda1: clean, 220240/30269440 file, 2971359/121076736 blocks
Startup problem in 16.04?



I failed to identify a conclusive solution regarding these problems however. I am probably just being dumb though. I am new to Ubuntu so please try to explain simply if possible. Thank you ^-^
