kernel - My dell xps 9560 has turned into a brick after Kubuntu 17.10 upgrade

I was running kubuntu 17.04 until yesterday with no issues, today I've upgraded to 17.10 and now once logged in, the systems freezes after few seconds. I did a clean install from a bootable usb pen drive but now I'm not even able to try to reinstall it since even in the installer it get stuck.
I' ve disabled the secure boot and I'm using legacy boot mode since uefi gave me problems in the past, but even with uefi I'm unable to proceed.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that the 17.10 is using a linux kernel which is somehow incompatible with my machine, because in the past I had to rollback to the previous kernel version because of issues.

I'm really frustrated and I don't know what to do other than trying to burn another pen drive with a different linux distro... But I would like to understand and fix the problem... Any idea?
