@Heyrer2, if you read this please try this. nosgx command will fix this.

To temporarily add a boot parameter to a kernel

  1. Start your system and wait for the GRUB menu to show (if you don't see a GRUB menu, press and hold the left esc key or shift right after starting the system).
  2. Now highlight the kernel you want to use, and press the e key. You should be able to see and edit the commands associated with the highlighted kernel.
  3. Go down to the line starting with linux and add your parameter nosgx to its end.
  4. Now press Ctrl + x to boot.

To make this change permanent

  1. From a terminal (or after pressing Alt + F2) run:
 sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

(or use sudo nano if gksudo or gedit are not available) and enter your password.
2. Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and append nosgx to its end. For example:

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nosgx "

Save the file and close the editor.
3. Finally, start a terminal and run:

 sudo update-grub

to update GRUB's configuration file (you probably need to enter your password).

On the next reboot, the kernel should be started with the boot parameter. To permanently remove it, simply remove the parameter from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and run sudo update-grub again.
