hi dear, did you install the proprietary nvidia-driver?? I use LinuxMint and I have no problems with the latest proprietary nvidia-driver.
Did you do the whole update and dist-upgrade after the fresh install?? This brings a complete new nvidia-system Your problem seems to be because you did not do the complete system-update and system-upgrade as first steps after your fresh installation So you first pleas uninstall this driver again and go back to the preinstalled one (nouveau). Then go to your Terminal and run the complete systemupdate and systemupgrade. Then close your Terminal and go back to your control-center. There search for "additional drivers". Then install the proprietary nvidia driver. This will unistall nouveau and then install this new nvidia system!!
