nvidia-384 384.90-0ubuntu3.17.10.1: nvidia-384 kernel module failed to build [cc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1)]

[Casey Hoefer]

**NEW COMPUTER BUILD** I had been experiencing buggy graphics behavior, and installing a driver from the additional drivers tab of the software and updates window helped, but did not completely fix the problem. So I went to the nvidia website and installed their newest driver which I believe is a bit newer than yours. (384.98) for some reason the install process was super slow, so i left it running over night. In the morning the system was completely locked up. Upon reboot, the buggy behavior was gone. I went poking around in the software and updates again, and this error popped up. additional drivers still shows 384.98 selected, so i think there might be an issue there.

Hardware:
Intel i7-8700k @ 3.7GHz boost to 4.7GHz
Asus ROG Maximus X Hero (WIFI AC) - wireless doesn't work by the way... asus doesnt seem to have a driver for linux yet.
16gb, DDR4 3200 Ram
EVGA Hybrid SC2 GTX1080 Ti
6tb WD Black HDD, Linux running on 1TB partition. i intend to dual boot eventually with windows as the main in stalled on an m.2 drive.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This appears to be a compiler bug. Not a problem with the nvidia driver itself.
