Having the the same problem.
Raspberry Pi 2 using Raspbian Jessie Lite
Everything brand new
Tried different SD cards all good ones.
Plenty of power 2.5 amps for Raspberry pi and 2.5 amps for hard drive.

As soon as I do the following
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The next reoot lock on the color screen.

Please let me know how to fix this.
