== SOLVED ==
I am running High Sierra 10.13.4, and upgraded from Nvidia 387.10.10.10.30.103 to the recently released Nvidia 387.10.10.10.30.106 drivers. I am running Nvidia graphics fixup 1.2.5.
After installing the drivers, I got a full system hang on reboot, consistently when the boot marker was in the middle of the screen (just before my screen momentarily blacks out when the web drivers load).
I tried the following boot flag combinations:
I installed the package without any issues. After rebooting with the rolled back drivers, my system continued to function as normal, corroborating the hypothesis that the .106 upgrade was the cause of the new freeze.
================
This is my system build:
- i7 6700k
- ASUS H170 Pro Gaming Mobo
- NVidia 980-ti graphics card
- PCI TP-LINK Archer Archer T8E IEEE 802.11ac
Installation method:
- Clover
- Using AFPS on boot disk
My full kext list is attached.
My (gently redacted) config.plist is attached, also.
I will continue to update this post as I learn more.
=== UPDATE ===
I ran the webdriver.sh installer as Vulgo suggested, and I updated NvidiaGraphicsFixup to 1.2.6. After both of these steps, my system is booting with the newer .106 drivers! I wish I could say exactly what fixed the problem, but I don't fully know. Thank you Vulgo!

I tried the following boot flag combinations:
- -v
- This allowed me to boot a littler further and see the initial login screen, then complete freeze up (even though wifi was connected, computer would not respond to pings; cursor was not blinking, etc)
- -v -ngfxoff (disables kext loading for Nvidia Graphics mixup)
- This had no effect
- -v -ngfxoff nvda_drv=0
- This disabled the Nvidia drivers. I could see the slow UI painting / flickering that one sees usually when using the legacy non-accelerated.graphics. My computer still froze up at the same spot. Unfortunately, I could not see a log anywhere with details about what went wrong :'(
