Where’s your NVIDIA bug report?

I suspect you haven’t blacklisted nouveau and thus your NVIDIA driver cannot load. Also, you might wanna try using RPMFusion instead of installing the driver manually using a *.run file which is rarely a correct decision.

Here is my nouveau block file content:

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

video driver 4.15.13 works fine in the same situation.

It works for me by this way.

1.Boot to single user mode.
2.uninstall old video driver.
3.reboot to single user mode again.
4.install new video driver and create a xorg.conf file at end of installation.
5.type exit to continue boot to desktop.
6.run nvidia-settings as root and save all new options to xorg.conf.
7.reboot then all are ok.
