post your diagnostics and a screenshot to put it into context

 

What do you mean by no GUI?  Just a black screen with a flashing cursor?  Try installing the GPU-TOP plugin

If they use a Matrox GPU it's a known issue, a driver will be included on the next release, hopefully it helps.

[Spazhead]

hi yes, all my dells use Matrox GPU

 

[JorgeB]

Yep, 6.11.1 which is expected soon *should* fix that.

[Spazhead]

UPDATE: still no GUI on 6.11.5 on my R510 with Matrox GPU.

The driver has been added and fixed the issue for most, though possibly some Matrox GPUs don't use or like the driver.

Probably switching to the Nvidia card as a primary display, my R730 started doing the same after added Nvidia drivers.

That's a good point, the Nvidia GPU my be the problem, since the driver for the Matrox appears to be loading correctly.
