just bought a new GPU, Nvidia GEFORCE GT 1030 by Gigabyte. (supports openGL 4.5 I cant boot into ubuntu 16.04 with it plugged in. ive swapped back to old GPU for now so iu can boot in. i get past all the initialisation, just freezes before the log in screen. I tried failsafe graphics mode but i cant navigate the video settings window that comes up..........i also just bought a new 4K monitor that works under old GPU... cant find any linux support for the GPU.
what should i try?
Using GA-X79-UP4 - Gigabyte motherboard
with i7-4820K CPU
Thanks!!

Have you installed a driver?
If not add the ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppaThen add the driver
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430 nvidia-settings
Note that if you want a different driver version edit the 430 accordingly
