Another black screen after Nvidia driver installing

I've installed the lastest Nvidia driver for my Graphic Card (a .run file), I've followed Nvidia instructions (http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/331.20/README/index.html) and placed .run file in home, then I Ctrl+Alt+F1:



cd ~
sudo source lightdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-133.20.run #(and I installed the driver)
sudo source lightdm start


After doing this every time I switch on the PC after the booting screen I can see just a black screen with a flashing underscore and I can't do anything, even open the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F(n). I no longer see an Nvidia logo after the booting screen.




I tried to use recovery mode and (with "Drop to root shell prompt" mode) type sudo source lightdm start, but it gave me an error, then I tried sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but it couldn't find the file, then I tried to uninstall and reinstall anything related to Nvidia as shown here: Blank screen after installing nvidia restricted driver, but nothing.



What should I try in your opinion?
