Computer does not boot with P4000 and NVIDIA drivers
I have a new Dell PC with an NVIDIA Quadro P4000 graphics card. I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on it. After the default installation, it works fine.
However, I need the NVIDIA drivers. I have installed versions 390 (from the Ubuntu software updates tool), and versions 410 and 418 from NVIDIA's PPA site. All present the following problem: booting fails, immediately after Grub's menu, with a purple screen. The machine is not responsive, and I cannot get to a terminal.
Following the advice here, I added nomodeset to Grub's kernel parameters. When I do that, the machine boots, I can run benchmarks, nvidia-settings runs, and things seem to be fine.
However, I suspect that's just a stopgap hiding a deeper problem. I have read many answers and followed their advice (for example this) without any success.
The computer also has an integrated Intel display, and my suspicion at the moment is that there's a conflict between Intel and NVIDIA when modeset is enabled. However, I don't know how to start testing that hypothesis.
Any advice would be appreciated. Here's a little bit more data about the machine; I can provide more details if needed. The BIOS is dated 11/01/2018. Secure boot has been disabled the whole time.
