Probably U had installed wrong drivers. Uninstall it first.
  1. sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
Copy the Code

And, U now should determine by Urself wether U install a Nvidia driver below or not.

Input
  1. sudo apt-get install nvidia*
Copy the Code
And choose one type, probably nvidia-331 or nvidia-343 and so on.
Taste and test them one by one... :? Untill the system being good.

BTW: If U smoothly use the system with the driver that deepin comes with, U shouldn't install any extra Nvidia driver.

Thanks for all the replies i managed to just delete all nvidia drivers and its back to normal now, i think i will leave it as it is, i played some games on steam and they work fine without te proper drivers. Love the operating system

for those who have same issue i had to log in as root in the ctrl alt f7 terminal, and type in something i saw in a forum "sudo apt-get --purge remove....nvdia....
