I've installed the Nvidia driver version 525, recommended by my terminal with the command 'ubuntu-drivers devices' and with the app 'Software & Updates', but after reboot, I'm left with nothing but a black screen. I've tried to access the login screen with Ctrl + Alt + F6, and it works but not after telling me that my GPU isn't properly recognized.
Tried it on Ubuntu 22.04 with Linux kernel 5.0.19.35 & 5.0.19.32 but it doesn't work on either. It also seems to have permanently bricked the 5.0.19.35 version, because now it only shows a blinking underscore when I try to boot it up, even after purging all the Nvidia drivers with 'sudo apt-get purge nvidia*'.
I just wanted to confirm if this is confirmed to be an issue with the Nvidia drivers or not, and if it isn't a common problem, what could be a good fix for this.

This is the output of the attempt made in the kernel version 5.19.0.32, not the problematic version .35 - As you can see, all the Nvidia drivers were purged, but after installing them again, I get the black screen again, this time on the kernel v. 5.19.0.32
