OK, I didn't mean to have a guarantee but just a flavour. I bougth the new GPU, also because in the process of renewing a bit my old machine, replacing the GPU was quite needed anyhow. In case it won't work properly I'll give it back, but I'm confident it'll work. Thanks for your support. Regar

I can't be sure that buying a new GPU will solve the problem so that is at your own risk and expense... But such a new(er) GPU does support Nvidia's latest drivers. In fact I've been using a GT 1030 in recent months for my own Nvidia-related work in Ubuntu 20.10. And that card is roughly 7x more po

I would be curious to see what a fresh install looks like. Because when you first started reporting these bugs you had disabled the open source driver in the kernel, didn't have the proprietary driver installed, and had installed a custom unsupported kernel. So I am still skeptical that some of tho

I installed the OS 3 times in the last two weeks to get rid of the nvidia problem without any success :-( I was hoping to find a way to identify in the logs what's going wrong because a fresh install won't solve the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubunt

That's actually good news then. If you can safely wipe the machine and reinstall then it sounds like a fresh install might eliminate whatever the cause of the problem is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.lau

I don't think your choice of hard drive is causing this problem. And your kernel log reports no errors with the Crucial SSD... When it was working 2 weeks ago, was that Ubuntu 20.04 or an older version? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subsc

I actually think it must be somehow related to my configuration, because in my previous installation in the same machine (I had to install a fresh new Ubuntu around 2 weeks ago after an HDD major crash), I was able to install nvidia-340 drivers. The only difference between the old and the new mach
