Press CTRL+ALT+F2
and log in. Next purge all of the installed nvidia-drivers:

Install proprietary Nvidia driver again. First of all check which version proprietary driver is suitable for you, run in terminal:
ubuntu-drivers devices
You'll see something like this:
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000A65sv00001043sd00008354bc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GT218 [GeForce 210]
driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
Pay your attention to the line with distro non-free recommended
- there is exact name of package you may install - in the example above it's nvidia-340
. Install the detected driver (change driver version 3XX
in the command below to your detected version):
sudo apt install nvidia-3XX
Reboot computer:
sudo reboot
Check Nvidia proprietary driver in use, run in terminal:
nvidia-smi
Remark. Another way to install recommended proprietary drivers is command:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
