Please check whether your issue is already reported in the nvidia forums

You could temporarily switch to the
nvidia-tesla-460-driver/nvidia-tesla-450-driver packages to go back to a
working version.
They are all co-installable with nvidia-driver, you can then use the
update-glx command to select the driver to be active.
