unable to load the nvidia-drm kernel module error

I am trying to install nvidia drivers for my Quadro K6000 GPU. But I am getting “unable to load the nvidia-drm kernel module” error. Here is my computer settings

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Driver version: 418

I downloaded the *.run file from the official website and try to execute it as instructed.

Below you can find the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh

Please uninstall the .run installer using --uninstall option. Then add the Ubuntu graphics ppa and install the driver from that (sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418)
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Then run

grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*

to find the file containing

blacklist nvidia

and remove it. Afterwards, run

sudo update-initramfs -u

and reboot.

Thanks for your answer, but I handed my machine to the IT department. They will change the GPU.
