Error with Ubuntu 18.10 + Nvidia 415.27 driver

The hard I am using is the original Geforce Titan). Get the following error on installing the nvidia driver. (Nouveau works just fine on this machine with this exact card). I have attached the output from nvidia-bug-report.sh to this post.

Probably insufficient power supply.

Previous searches suggested that might be the issue, so I ruled it out for the following reasons -

a. A Vega64 works well in this machine.
b. Nouveau works well with the same card in the same machine
c. Power supply in question is a Seasonic 1300W and this is the only graphics card in the machine. PSU should be more than sufficient.

Nouveau doesn’t reclock, so it works at very low power level.
Make sure power connectors are properly seated, unplug and reconnect them. Reseat the card, change slots.
XID 79 is a shutdown due to overheating or voltage drop.
