lshw -C display shows UNCLAIMED for GT840M graphics card
I've tried everyway to install drivers for NVIDIA and get it working but my laptop still insist on using Intel Haswell integrated GPU.
Here's a what I've tried so far:
First I've tried to install latest drivers from graphics-driers PPA:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-367
I was hoping that it could get my graphics card to work but it didn't.
Then I downloaded .run
file from offical nVidia website but this installer gives me "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!" error. Still don't know why it gives me such error.
Last thing I tried was after installing nvidia-367:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime
sudo prime-select nvidia
reboot
As you can guess, it didn't work either. sudo lshw -C display
command gives me following output:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and my graphics card is nVidia GT 840M
Secure Boot does not let the nvidia
module load.
Disable Secure boot in BIOS and it should be solved.

display UNCLAIMED
can also mean a hardware problem. Especially if the problems started without any software updates.
