I was installing cuda-8.0 for my project and followed this link, which asked me to download Nvidia Driver using .run file:
http://queirozf.com/entries/installing-cuda-tk-and-tensorflow-on-a-clean-ubuntu-16-04-install
along with which I blacklisted Nouveau Driver.
The installation was done by executing sudo service lightdm stop and then running the .run file.
Initially I faced some difficulties like login loop and black screen, but later solved them.
Now, when i try to execute commands like:
command: lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12 , gives output:

command: glxinfo | grep OpenGL | grep renderer, gives the output:

command: sudo lshw -c video, gives the output:

command: lsmod | grep nv, gives the output:

drm                   368640  6 i915,nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper

I think, the Nvidia driver is installed, but still not activated as the kernel driver.
Can someone help me figuring out the problem and how to solve it?
Please ask if any other info is needed.
BTW, driver version is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39 on Ubuntu 16.04
