I bought my laptop Windows pre-installed. After deleting Windows I didn't disable the UEFI boot from BIOS (doesn't exits any more). So I installed Ubuntu 15.04 including UEFI boot partition. Everything was fine but after upgrading to 16.04, my Nvidia driver is not working any more. It's stuck on black screen.

After googling, I found out that black screen can be fixed by disabling the UEFI boot but in my situation I cannot disable UEFI. So is there any other way that I can use my Nvidia driver?

Note: I have already tried nomodeset option. It didn't help.

  Try disabling secure boot rather then UEFI as it is unlikely UEFI is directly related to your problem.

  To elaborate on bodhi.zazen's comment, Ubuntu 16.04 tightens its Secure Boot handling so that kernel modules must be signed; however, third-party kernel modules, such as those for the Nvidia chipset, are not signed and so will not work with Secure Boot active. See this page of mine for some examples of how to disable Secure Boot.

As of 18.04 this (installing nvidia driver with UEFI) is done automatically by Device Manager (Read it carefully where it says to type password into MOK to add drivers, on restart. I missed it first time.)

Although you may have to disable nouveau more forcefully by blacklisting it
https://gist.github.com/Rambou/c6769caee19b0b9915d8342b86c3ef72

You can check which driver your gpu is using with:
sudo lshw -c video
which will contain a line that says:
configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
(or will say nouveau instead of nvidia if hasn't succeeded)
