Hi there. I have some new details. Usually, I turn on my PC in the morning and I shut it down in the evening, and no warm reboot is done. Today I rebooted and GDM started after boot splash screen. So I repeated this: I noticed that GDM won't start after hard boot, but it runs normally after soft reboot.
Then I investigated into the log files, AFTER AN HARD BOOT, and I noticed this: GDM LOG OUTPUT: (EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the (EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and (EE) Jun 22 14:43:47 NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details. (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
