Black screen after trying to update nvidia drivers or starting maintenance mode

Hey everyone, i have been trying to update my nvidia drivers in order to attempt and increase hash rate seeing that people with same cards and latest versions get better results. But i have a problem. Every time i try to

a) install drivers through commands ( i get to the point where drivers are downloaded and installation starts )
b) try to start with maintenance mode without drivers
c) try through console to manually killall xinit and close server x

i get a black screen and need to reboot making virtually impossible to change driver version. I understand that i could flash hiveos version with latest drivers to my SSD but that would force me to only choose between the available drivers there and not all available drivers from NVIDIA.

Please help :smiley:
