Problem with NVIDIA Drivers!!!

[jekhal]

Hey people! I'm having a problem in my laptop with the Nvidia Drivers, I have an Acer Nitro 5 with Linux Mint Tara 19. I had some errors when I installed it, but I could move on and solve them. Now my computer every time I put in some external hardware it gets laggy, and everything starts to work badly.
These are some of the specifications about my computer:

why would you setup your linux like this. you'll need to clear some of these old logs and remove some kernels

Info: Processes: 501 Uptime: 1 min Memory: 659.5/15981.7MB

at most you should have around 200, what do you have running in the background?
look in Logs under important tab and check your dmesg errors with dmesg | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail"
