Hi.
I am not familiar with nvidia, but I believe you need KMS/DRM mode:
(See modeset setting)
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/396.51/README/kms.html

This was an idea behind the DRM/KMS: both Xorg and Framebuffer (graphical
mode linux command line console) work on top of the driver.

When crashed, does it write something to the console and/or logs?
