It looks to me like the 396 versions of nvidia-drivers is not compatible with your card. Most likely, you have to stick with the 391 series. I for example have a older card that requires the 340 series. I have to mask anything above that. You for example may need to mask anything 396 or above. You should be able to go to the nvidia website and find out exactly what series of drivers you need and then mask anything above that. Once that is done, you shouldn't have this problem again. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
