I kept having the same issue for the last 6 months of updates (aprox). Today I found the solution that worked for me at least; I hope this can help others.
Clean up ALL and fresh install NVIDIA drivers from ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt purge nvidia* libnvidia* screen-resolution-extras sudo apt autoremove
dpkg -l | grep nvidia ** to make sure no nvidia pkg was left (i found 1 more), if any -> purge it
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440 nvidia-dkms-440
** saw a line stating that the linux headers were not installed **
sudo apt install linux-headers-5.3.0-26 (replace with your current kernel version)
While doing this I see several messages of the nvidia module being built.
sudo reboot
Happiness!!!
