Thanks for the reply Kuba!
Although im not gonna lie, i found it confusing to understand what you
sent.

Basically what happened is when the drivers updated they broke with the new
35 kernel?

And what i should do is boot into the version that is working
do this - sudo apt remove linux-modules-nvidia-570*
and then sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570
reboot and boot normally to see if its fixed?

Again really appreciate the response
