Update your post to include full system hardware specs and detailed OS information.

When games fail to run - any popup windows, error messages, etc....?

Are there any games at all that do run?

Have you downloaded and installed the nVidia variant/ISO image of POP OS ?

 

[Himanshu Panchal]

yes i have installed Nvidia Variant Iso

 

[Grobe]

Ok, then.

Can you elaborate "Nothing work for me no game is running" ?

Have you had other distros installed in the past, and did it work back then ?
