After installing Nvidia driver 430 ubuntu 19.04 does not boot and stuck on boot screen

Recently I bought a Nvidia GTX 1660 graphics card, and I already have windows 10 and I installed Ubuntu 19.04 alongside windows 10.


I added the graphics driver PPA and installed Nvidia drivers using the command


sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-430

everything worked fine until I reboot and it is stuck at the boot screen as below:


Boot screen


I did everything I could. I am sharing all of them


Try 1: I booted in recovery mode and selected the following option


dpkg             Repair broken packages

Previously a few times this solved my problem and computer booted successfully with nvidia drivers but nowdays it does not solve my problem.


Try 2: I booted in recovery mode and I opened root terminal from there and uninstalled nvidia driver using


sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

Then everything went fine and I successfully booted without nvidia driver and now my screen resolution reduced to 1024x768


PLEASE HELP ME TO INSTALL NVIDIA DRIVER PROPERLY. I'D BE GRATEFUL.
