KeymasterAfter a long time of trying things I have found all over the internet about installing nvidia drivers, I finally stumbled across a site that had the answer. It seems that Ubuntu 18.04 does not install the correct headers for the nVidia 340.108 drivers which caused them not to install correctly.
Install the Correct Headers:
sudo apt install linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic linux-headers-4.15.0-112-generic sudo reboot
Install Drivers:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt-get update
CTL+ALT F1 to get into terminal
sudo systemctl stop lightdm ubuntu-drivers devices sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall sudo apt-get update sudo nvidia-xconfig sudo reboot
*NOTE: Your first reboot may be to big fonts and flickering. If so, just do a reboot.
To check your system after reboot:
sudo lshw -numeric -C display
orsudo lspci -vnn | grep VGA
Also, I noticed that if I use “Adapative” or “Auto” with the PowerMizer and it drops to the 275/602/550 settings, the display will go black and you have to reboot to get it back. I just set the PowerMizer to “Prefer Maximum Performance” to keep it at the 500/1598/1250 settings.
PCNetSpec has a good method on having the PowerMizer set to “Prefer Maximum Performance” each time you start.

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1
