To be honest I do not know how long this has been an issue, since I haven't been using my laptop for hard (visual) tasks in a long time. Today however I wanted to play a game again, but then I came to the discovery that linux wasn't recogizing my nvidia card. I thought it was just a linux issue, because that's normally the case, sadly not this time. And after updating the only software that controls both operating systems (I think). The only real explenation that I can think of why my GPU is not working anymore is because of hardware mulfunction.
Some important information:
GPU: A2000 (for laptop)
Operating systems: Linux fedora 38 and Windows 11
Laptop model: HP ZBook Power 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC
Things I have tried already:
Update the bios
Check if I am secure booting, which I am
lshw in terminal on linux, gpu wasnt showing
device manager in windows, only internal gpu was showing
I do vagely remember a month ago or so that I got an error on linux saying something along the lines that gpu driver was not working and that it was falling back to the default driver which is "nouveau".
I have opened my laptop before to put in an extra ssd, could I maybe have "unplugged" the GPU? Or could it be that my GPU is actually total loss?
