I'm having a precision 7530 with i7-8850H and NVIDIA Quadro P2000 and using ubuntu 18.04. Now after some time the external monitor connected over displayport (displayport to hdmi cable, where the displayport goes into the laptop and the hdmi cable into the monitor) stopped working. I'm using this workstation at work with the TB18DC dock, where 2 external monitors are connected and work properly. But at home I do not have any dock and with the setup mentioned above the external monitor stopped working. It did work some months ago. During the time it worked and now I have done normal ubuntu software updates where also the bios-firmware has been updated to 1.5.2 (i'm not sure what version I've had before, was the first time I updated firmware after bought, so maybe 1.0.7?).

I have also installed the nvidia 390 driver. But it doesn't work either with the xorg-driver.

xrandr says with connected displayport monitor:

I have also tried the following:

• installing lightdm and use it (no effect)


• disable switchable graphics in bios (no effect)


• downgrade firmware version-by-version till 1.2.5 (as it won't let me downgrade back to 1.0.7. no effect)


• reset bios settings to default (no effect)


• reinstalling nvidia-driver (no effect)


• trying without any nvidia-driver (no effect)


• 
  Disable secure boot (no effect). But I also getting nothing when running lsmod | grep nvidia

I booted from a live ubuntu usb stick and without external monitor it worked normally but with external monitor I got the following error message:

Any ideas how to get the monitor working? Thank!
