I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on a CLEVO notebook and have the nvida-390 drivers and Cuda installed. It worked fine for a month, but - suddenly today it stopped working. I can still access the login screen, but the screen remains purple.
I've already tried to purge and reinstall the nvidia-390 drivers (I've also tried the 396 drivers version) without success. After the login the computer always stops working. I cannot even access tty. After purging the drivers I can login and all works fine with nouveau, but I really need Cuda for my work.
My specs:
- i7-6700HQ
- 8GB RAM
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M
- Intel Wireless 8260
Can someone please help me? Thanks.

Please try out whether booting with the parameternvidia-drm.modeset=1solves the problem. :)

You might need to have Direct Rendering Manager Kernel Mode Setting enabled on system boot.
NVIDIA driver's PRIME Synchronization support relies on DRM-KMS, which is disabled by default.
Find more comprehensive information in the discussion on the NVIDIA GPU Unix Graphics Forums.
Execute sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add the parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Save the change you've made and run sudo update-grub.
Restart the Ubuntu operating system, and now, everything should work properly - right as expected.

Once I do this, the monitor running on NVidia will block on "Starting Gnome DISPLAY Manager" however the other monitor is fine. Remove the modeset from GRUB then all is fine, except screen tearing on NVidia. Any ideas how to diagnose or fix ?

@abdelrahman-sinno Without knowing any further details providing you with a correctly working solution is not possible. I suggest that you ask a new question including as much information as possible about your specific hardware and system setup and about what you have already tried so far to solve the problem. :)
