In Armory, uncheck the "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background" Checkbox. Stop Armory. Start Bitcoin Core. Let Bitcoin Core sync. Then start Armory again.
Let me get this straight: "Let Bitcoin Core sync." - Start syncing or finish syncing?

Don't run auto bitcoind if your setup isn't stable. Run BitcoinQt and make sure it's sync'd before running anything else. The fact that it's eating 40% CPU implies it's not done syncing.
aha thanks!
Now stuck at initializing bitcoin engine. bitcoind is running and at 40% cpu usage.
uh

That's not stuck, that's how far the DB can get without wallets registered. Now start ArmoryQt to get to the next step.
Thank you! I did it, it's now stuck at:

Delete your databases folder. Start ArmoryDB from the command line with the following:
Once, it's done building, you can shutdown the DB and start the client as usual.
Code:
ArmoryDB --db-type=DB_BARE

That didn't help, so i went the starting bitcoin-qt route so it rebuilds everything.
After it did that for 3+ days armory still hangs on scanning transaction history and bad block hash

You should just rebuild & rescan here. Don't delete blocks files just yet.
I just spent 3+ days rebuilding the whole database with bitcoin-qt and when finally started armory the dblog ends with
how many block files I have to delete?
Can't afford to wait another 3+ days to rebuild.

I see. More often than not Armory freezes when quitting on Ubuntu and I have to kill it.
If you don't shut down Core gracefully, the leveldb database may get corrupted. Your best bet is to manually control BitcoinQt to make sure it is shut down properly (that the shut down period is respected).
When starting bitcoin-qt it said corrupted database block detected and started reindexing blocks from the beginning which last time took couple of days.
This is like the 3rd time this happens (second in a month)
Is there particular reason this happens so often?
p.s.
thank you for the help!

I'm with Armory 0.95.1-beta and bitcoin-0.11.1 on Ubuntu 16.10
When I start Armory, it starts bitcoind as well but it closes shortly after. So it's stuck at "Initializing bitcoin engine" forever
Sometimes after couple of runs it goes beyond that and hangs all day on syncrhonizing with network, but it's just few days behind so couldn't be taking whole day for sure.
So basically I can't access my money again.
