Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb - Linux Doesn't Load

I got a new PC and transferred over my hard drive, linux booted with no problem. But when I add the graphics card to the system it just makes it past the Linux Mint logo and right before the login screen, the monitor goes to sleep. I've tried installing several sets of drivers while the card was out or from the Ctrl + Alt + F3 option while the card was in. (Sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-###). I even downloaded the .run driver #535 and it doesn't run without the card. I can't get to it with the card in of course. As anyone had this problem or can anyone offer me help, please?

PC Specs:
Intel Sandy Bridge (Core i7) 3.40GHz
MSI Z68A-GD55 (MS-7681)
