   Hi   
   Yes, that is a result, but an indicator it's the nvidia driver   
      
   Is nvidia_drm.modeset=1 or simplefb=1 present in the grub options? Did   
   the G05 driver rebuild ok?   
      
   I would suggest booting to multi-user.target (runlevel 3) and force the   
   re-install of all the nvidia rpms...
