Hello !
I have received a new graphics card Nvidia geforce gtx 1080ti on Monday in order to replace an old AMD Radeon but I haven't been able to install the graphics driver on Ubuntu 18.04. Whenever I try to install it, when I reboot Ubuntu, there is a black screen right before the time the "Ubuntu" logo should appear and then the screen shuts down. In order to reboot the computer properly, I have to uninstall the driver through the root mode.
The computer initially had a Windows 10/Ubuntu 18.04 dual boot and the graphics card worked perfectly fine on Windows. I tried to re-install Ubuntu 18.04 or downgrade to older versions (17 & 16) but the result is the same. I even tried using Linux Mint 19 but it doesn't seem to work either.
Eventually, I erased the disk and installed Ubuntu 18.04 so as to have the cleanest system possible.
I have tried different types of installation such as the autoinstall/using the apt command with various versions of the driver (396, 390 & 384). I also tried editing the grub2 file so as to boot using the nomode set. I tried booting in Legacy mode with the secure boot disabled, and also in UEFI but neither work. In brief, I have tried many things but none of them worked and now I am coming here for help since I am not a Linux/Ubuntu professional.
As I am pretty new to Ubuntu, I'd be thrilled if you could detail the code lines you want me to use when trying to help me !
Here is the output when I use the sysinfo package in the terminal:
