When you get to the TTY, login. Then do:

Code:
startx

if you don't get into the desktop, make a note of where they say the log file is. Then place the log in this thread.

Well, To be honest I am very new to Linux. I am really appreciate your help, Jerry ;D

I attached the log for you.
And this showed on my monitor before entering TTY.

Make sure you are always plugged into one nvidia card. Try the following from TTY.

Code:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

Reboot.

Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common

Reboot. After this reboot you should be at the desktop. From there, you can install the nvidia driver from Install Drivers.

It said there is no this command

Code:
nvidia-settings --uninstall

neither

Code:
nvidia-xconfig --uninstall

so I skip it.

Well, all the process I have only one monitor plug into GTX970 and operate directly to the system (not through Teamviewer)
1. Login TTY(from where I can't get to Linux Lite GUI)
2. apply these commands

Code:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

3. reboot
4. apply this

Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common

5. reboot and install Nvidia driver from Install Drivers.
6. reboot
7. Apply these command

Code:
sudo update-grub

sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration

8. reboot

It's work!!! Big Grin

Thanks Jerry.
So from my understanding, The location of my HDMI turn out to be the significant factor of the problem.
One last question Can I apply a dummy plug after this to fix the resolution when in headless mode?

I've no experience with headless servers. You will need to start a new thread for that query. In the meantime, please mark this one as Solved as per your welcome email instructions. Thank you.
