System is crashing every day with bizz sound and colorful distroted screen. How to solve this Nvidia issue? I am using graphic-driver ppa

Question

Problem 1: The folder /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced gets deleted every time when I change driver from nvidia to intel or intel to nvidia. Every time I have to fire command

sudo touch /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced && chmod 777 /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced

Problem 2: nvidian driver never load on kernel during bootup due to some missing key.

Problem 3: Some error like:-

nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered the Nvlink Core, major device number 245

The crash is occurs again even I fix the issue. Please suggest a permanent fix. — Aravind, Sep 13 '17 at 09:28
@heynnema I have installed ubuntu Legacy mode and my UEFI is already off. — Aravind, Sep 14 '17 at 13:21
No, secure boot needs to be disabled. Are you dual-booting with Windows? Edit your question to include the terminal output of dkms status and dpkg -l *nvidia* | grep ii. — heynnema, Sep 14 '17 at 13:25
@heynnema I have this laptop only for ubuntu. UEFI bios setting which is also known as secure boot is already disabled. — Aravind, Sep 14 '17 at 13:28
aravind@aravind-aspire-e5-575g:~$ dkms status and dpkg -l nvidia | grep ii : I do not know how to handle dpkg. Error! Unknown option: -l — Aravind, Sep 14 '17 at 13:30
that's dpkg with a lower case -L. And please copy/paste that output into your question, not the comments, please. Two separate commands. — heynnema, Sep 14 '17 at 13:32

I have found a solution and get back to you all if it works for my problem 1.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-384/bin/nvidia-persistenced /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced

Hello friends, I will like to tell you all that by making symbolic link of nvidia-presistanced to the /usr/bin/ have solved more then 90% of the problem in Nvidia Graphic card. – Aravind Sep 18 '17 at 05:35
Please don't create nvidia-persistenced in your /usr/bin via touch command. – Aravind Sep 18 '17 at 05:38

The solution to my problem Number 2 and 3 are that I have installed modprobe. cuda is installed via old ubuntu software center.

I have also fired " sudo modprobe -m "

How to install nvidia-modprobe

Now my driver is getting loaded in the Kernel.

Now I am able to use it without much problem.
