So I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday. Today I wanted to login to the computer and suddenly it doesn't log me in anymore. I can enter my password, but when I hit return to log in the screen goes black for a second and I end up right back in the login screen again. Does someone know what could be the issue?

I ran into the same problem when I tried to switch to proprietary graphics driver from settings.
By default x server was in charge. Provided that you got a similar issue here, you can try to uninstall the driver.
In my case, I had Nvidia, so I went to tty1 by Ctrl + Alt + F1,
then enter login and password,
and use purge to uninstall:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* && sudo reboot
