Hi Maddie!
Add this repositary with this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mamarley/nvidia

And then install the 340 version of the nvidia drivers with this command
sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-340

And then reboot your laptop

Note the 343 version or anything below the 340 version will not work

Thanks, Maddie
