I have tried several things which I gathered from different posts (e.g. My problem is that I cannot get past the first step to try any of these solutions out, which is being able to access a terminal. Besides, there have already been a lot of useful answers/suggestions provided, so I don't want to add yet another question on the subject itself (I will take the time to read and try out the different suggestions once I solve my present problem). I have seen many posts out there about people having problems with Nvidia drivers, so it seems I'm far from alone.
