Boot the computer in rescue mode to avoid start up of graphical mode, to prevent the nouveau errors. In rescue mode get nvidia-detect from non-free installed and run it. wget http://stappers.it/do303/debian/jessie/non-free/amd64/nvidia-detect.deb dpkg --install nvidia-detect.deb nvidia-detect Then use the output of nvidia-detect for the next step Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
