After several years of using dual boot (windows to play and Ubuntu to work) I decided to just use ubuntu, but I have a problem after installing nvidia-drivers 331.20 and rebooting the screen is black, I have seen many solutions for this problem, in particular I have run the following command sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
then sudo reboot
after which I am ready to use ubuntu.
How can I fix this problem since I really want to play but the latest drivers (331.20) are the ones that are optimized for the 700 series.
