Laptop freezes before login: Nvidia driver 430 - Ubuntu 18.04 - 4.18.0-25-generic

I looked around in a lot of different posts and websites but the result is always the same: once I reboot I never reach again the login scree - the laptop freezes with a black screen.

I tried a lot a different actions but none helped me to find a solution for my current configuration: Ubuntu: 18.04 Kernel: 4.18.0-25-generic Graphic card: Quadro P3200

I currently run the 390.116 nvidia driver version as an alternative to the nouveau ubuntu nvidia drivers. This version is the ONLY one I can run on my system.

I tried PPA packages (410, 415, 418 and 430) but none of them work.

I also tried the 430 version recently "officially" proposed by Ubuntu but with no luck.

In the BIOS I have: - Disable the secure boot - Forced the dGPU to replace the iGPU (no card switching) In addition I have: - in /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf added the following line: options nvidia-drm modeset=0 - Always prime-select set to nvidia

To test the other versions I also tried: - To blacklist nouveau - To add nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT but both of these actions were not required for having the 390 version working.

Can someone tell me where the problem is?

Thanks!!!
