Download and install NVIDIA Drivers

First of all, if you tried using the script then you can find the NVIDIA installer package in /usr/share/doc/nvidia If the installer package is not there go to NVIDIA Download Page, and get the latest drivers for your computer.

Install the drivers

If you are in runlevel 5, go to runlevel 3 by typing the following comand as root in one of the consoles (which you can access by pressing ctrl-alt-f1 [f1 up to f6])

Now go to the directory containing the drivers.

cd /usr/share/doc/nvidia

or

cd /the/path/where/you/saved/the/drivers/from/nvidia/website

Now simply type the following and follow instructions
