It worked!

For some reason the nouveau driver still loads but I set the option modeset=0 on it and now it doesn't grab the GPU, and then the nvidia drivers load

Ok, so I've attempted to disable the nouveau driver another way now, time to reboot

I'm listening to the matrix soundtrack while doing this, Really adds to the tension

Ok, I've restarted, it's still not running the nvidia drivers, looks like the nouveau drivers still grabs the GPU first, even though I think I've disabled the nouveau driver

Ok, so it appears that my graphics card is now so old it's out of support, so I need to install the old drivers instead of the newest version

This time it worked like a charm! Now I just have to fix the nvidia graphics drivers
