@omar reddam - I also have the GTX 1050 in my new dell XPS-15 laptop. After deleting xorg.conf as recommended here, I went a step further and performed this command to blacklist nouveau:

$ sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"
$ sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"

Then I updated initramfs:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u

And lastly, I installed the nvidia software package via "sudo apt install nvidia-390" before rebooting.

BLACK SCREEN.....*sigh*

Has anyone tried to download the bin files directly from nvidia.com website?
What were the results?

I think I'll go ahead and try that. Will report back my findings.
