1) Download Newest Nvidia drivers from their website

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

3) Add these lines and save:



blacklist vga16fb

blacklist nouveau

blacklist rivafb

blacklist nvidiafb

blacklist rivatv

4) Uninstall any previously installed Nvidia drivers:



sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

5) Reboot your computer

6) When an error message pops up saying that Ubuntu cannot load Nvidia drivers, choose Exit to terminal (Exit to console)

7) Login and cd to the directory where you saved your file

Install drivers



sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run (or whichever package you have, be precise as errors will result in "no such file"

8) Follow the onscreen guide from Nvidia and when done

9) Start GDM



sudo service gdm start
