Hi. I am not familiar with nvidia, but I believe you need KMS/DRM mode: (See modeset setting) https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/396.51/README/kms.html
This was an idea behind the DRM/KMS: both Xorg and Framebuffer (graphical mode linux command line console) work on top of the driver. When crashed, does it write something to the console and/or logs?
