I was sure I got this wrong. When I look at the uploaded file it shows a blank!!That's perfect, thanks D~!
Not to worry, I'm several hours ahead of you, so I'd posted that then gone to sleep
I think I let the blue smoke out of my head!! ":O}

I think I let the blue smoke out of my head!! ":O}
How could any one sleep at time like this!!!
Two things. the first is that I run my computer on the same 43 inch as I run everything with.
So if I can do 4096 x2160 doesn't that prove my hardware is set up correctly?
The second thing is I'm lost, I forget these things very easily... I'm sure that will improve as I get older! LOL
So I forgot where I left off. So I'm going to run the series of commands again. It will give me a sense of accomplishment.
I'm telling you this only because were friends. and... So you will know why I'm doing this again.":O{}

As you can see I have..."something" But I can't seem to open it, what do you use when default can't open a file...I know file dependent, so what do I use for this file?
Go on line and search your mother board, much easier than rampaging though your closets.":O}
Huston we have a problem.. (was that a bit of an understatement or what!?)
Ok here's what has befallen me.
My computer slows way way down. I had to re-boot 4 times just to get you this screen shot, I could not cut and paste. I ran the last command three times after rebooting. Always freezes up. Check out the message at the end, never seen it's like before! Notice that the screen shot app stay so long on the screen it got included in the screen shot!

I could open the file - it was just a matter of downloading it and tar -xzf Xorg.0.log.tar.gz, and there's your log file all ready for me to review
Nothing too exciting in it - I just needed a benchmark to see what your system normally says: every system has its own collection of messages and warnings.
To answer your next question - your hardware might be set up correctly. B
No need. I have all I need with those messages. Just reboot - you won't need the get-edid command again. We'll remove that package later.
Once you've rebooted, go ahead and install the latest version of nVidia drivers you have available - should be up in the 430s - then reboot again. Sorry, you'll be on 1920x1080 for a day or so, as our timezones don't align.
Once you've got the new drivers up and running, open a console and type:
xrandr --verbose
and paste up the output.

I'm turning in again shortly, as it's close to 10pm here, and I'm up again at 5am.
Just by way of background, when running through an A/V receiver, display setup takes a little longer, as an agreeable resolution and scan rate has to be set by all three devices in the chain. In essence, the computer asks the A/V receiver, the A/V receiver asks the TV, and passes the messages back.
What can happen - and what is happening here - is that the A/V unit is not actually passing on the TV's EDID (its menu of available resolutions and refresh rates) but passing junk instead. This is actually fairly normal with A/V units, and nothing to worry too much about.
What we'll do next is, when your new drivers are up, experiment first with setting late modesetting (as you currently have), which should get you 4K again, then I'll provide you with a template 4K EDID, and we'll force the system to use that. Once that's confirmed working, we'll set early modesetting again, which should improve your boot times a few seconds.
If you are able to get the model number of the Denon A/V unit then I can check whether all its HDMI ports are capable of 4K @ 60Hz, or whether you need to do any cable swapping.

When you say Verbose you mean it!! LOL

My ARC connection is ka-put! The Tv's HDMI input connection is bent, I can get my AVR plup into it but no signal comes out of it...I had forgotten. I didn't take it back as I hate waste and I get good service from HDMI 1 which is also 60 hz.
It's a cheap $300 dollar TV. If I take it back it will go straight to the junk pile. Actually I'm rather attached to it. We had to buy when we were pretty broke and I really didn't expect it to be much at all. Other than the damaged ARC input it has been pretty flawless. I don't get the UHD and HDR, but I mark that up to not using my ARC connection.
Roku plays at 3820X 2160, 60hz my computer displays (with 340 drivers) above and beyond.
Could our missing ARC connect be the problem with other than 340 drivers?
My guess (I'll hear your opinion, but it will be to late as I already have my option, But we can change that if we need to.":O}Is no. If it were the 340's would be giving me shit as well..Yes?...NO???

Hi K. It's me Daniel ~
Would we be getting around the ARC problem by Using the TV as the input switcher?
I don't actually like not getting UHD and HDR.
When I test though ROKU it always fails but they let me force the 2.2 compliance.
I am certain that my cable are all 2.2 I replaced them twice because of this problem.
It seems reasonable to assume the failure to use arc is at the root of that.
But for some reason Netflix Does a sometimes on but mostly off thing where they use the upper corner of the screen to discreetly show you you resolution and bit rate. Where as it should be (I checked the content)
3820 it's stuck at 1080. I'll never live this down ! I've already told every one I have good stuff! ":O} I wish I knew if I can turn this feature (resolution and Bit rate) on or off or if my even seeing it is a freak thing.
I tried for days to get the TV to switch for me. It did, but I could not get the lip sync to really adjust or stop losing lip sync every time I changed inputs.
So how much can you help cure lip sync and would we actually avoid the damaged ARC in this manner?
I'm in a hurry so send a post card...Write urgent across the top so they know we mean business. I forgot I can't give out my home addy!
Not while Trummy is in change and out of control
So just post back here, I'll try to be grateful, honest.":O}

P.S
Not remembering WHY I wasn't using the ARC I switched inputs to ARC lost all signal.
But it took several hours to get it to go back to HDMI1 where I had had it. Just would not pick up the signal..until finally it did.
I don't think using HDMI 1 and the AVR as the switcher is a natural state for my poor monitor.
Please discuss this among myself.":O}

That's unfortunate, but HDMI-1 is also OK. It's HDMI-3 and HDMI-4 that are the runts of this particular litter.
No, the reason why you're limited to 1920x1080 for the next little while is because of two things:
- kernel modesetting
- change in EDID handling
Let's sort out the modesetting problem first:
sudo su
mount /boot
nano -w /etc/default/grub
This will let you edit the grub configuration file relatively safely.
Scroll down to where it says GRUB_TIMEOUT= and change this to read GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
This will bring up the grub boot menu for 10s - you may need to select fallbacks if we get anything wrong.
Then were it says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" edit it to read
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash"
Then, press Ctrl-o to save and Ctrl-x to exit.
Once saved, type
update-grub
Once complete, reboot

D~, while I've always loved your enthusiasm, you really need to control the urge to experiment here. Everything we've done so far has been for me to build up a picture of how your setup is laid out. If you now go changing cables around, then it's just time wasted.
Please put all your cabling back to how it was: computer, Roku and other devices to AVR, AVR to HDMI-1.
If you can also provide me with the AVR's model number, as I've asked a few times already, then I can check to make sure that there's no particular port arrangement needed on that, too. Pretty please?
Thank you for the suggestion Daniel. Holy frijoles Walmart wants just less than $300 for a new Asus Z170. Fortunately Ebay lists it for less than half that price. Can't find a list of included connectors for an extra SSD. Looks like there are connections on the board for two SSD's or, shudder HDD's.
Your going to be mad at me, please don't be mad.":O}
I switch the HDMI 1 cable to get us to ARC. Then realize, rememberd why I wasn't using it...To late.
Then it would not use HDMI 1 when I switched back to it. Tried for several hours.
SO...I did a restore...I know I'm sorry!! I was tried and I fell back into the only trick I know.What's worse I didn't do a back up BEFORE I restored, I meant to, but forgot. (How lame of me!)
So I just made more work for you, again Sorry. Even worse I don't know what of what I did was just to get information for you to analyze and what actually made changes to the system..in short what does my dumb ass need to redo to give you the changes we made?
I'm reluctant to follow your new instructions as they assume that I wouldn't e an idiot and change things on you.
You may have missed that I'm not getting 3820 with Roku using the Non ARC HDMI 1 I'm stuck at 1080, I'm pretty sure it's the not using ARC thing.
I'm sorry, if you haven't completely lost patience and still have the time I will try to do better.
So my machine state is exactly where it was when we began.

I'm confused here. HDMI 1 IS not ARC. ARC is labeled HDMI 2. As ARC is damaged I've been using HDMI 1
That is where we started and where my hardware is now,I didn't actually switch from using the Receiver AVR as the switcher. I only asked if we might do better that way as he TV wouldn't be using the damaged ARC but another input from the AVR
I've given you my Denon several times my friend, it's not going to change! LOL
Denon AV surround receiver S500BT
That's
an"S" before the 500
So if I have not exhausted you, where should I pick up the string and begin again ?

That's OK, it's a known starting point. So far all I've been doing is gathering information and making sure I know what will happen next, and trying to anticipate what could go wrong
This ain't our first rodeo 
So you're back on the 340 drivers?
Can you type the following command and paste the output?
xrandr
In the meantime, I'll look up your AVR and make sure there's nothing special about its cabling.

Got it. So the rear panel of your Denon looks like this:
http://manuals.denon.com/AVRS500BT/NA/EN/WBSPSYjsdhemcn.php
Right, so your connections will be:
Computer to Denon AVR, HDMI 5 GAME
Denon AVR, HDMI OUT to TV HDMI-1 (because HDMI-2 is broken and so we'll pretend it doesn't exist)
Your Roku should probably connect to the Denon's HDMI-4 (blu-ray)
All cables need to be HDMI2-compliant, which you confirmed in an earlier post.
