Blacklisting the nouveau driver is a good thing to do. Before going any further, best to do is adding the x-swat PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates). Then delete every nvidia-nouveau driver using synaptic. If you did that, close synaptic and open a terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo nvidia-xconfig
This will install the correct Nvidia driver. Make sure to follow up the instructions given in the terminal.

Possibly because you are using an end of life version.

Yes, version 10.10 is no longer supported. Best is also to upgrade to a newer version.

I removed the nouveau driver from my system with the help of following thread.
