Hey Damarrin!
Well that was also my guess that maybe there is an integrated GPU chip, I have to check, the latest 515 version of the NVIDIA driver is definitively installed (per default with PopOS 22.04 nvidia version), now if it running..
I have to check, I guess running "nvidia-smi" would give me some hints if the driver is loaded at least..
I have just checked.. the "Pop OS 22.04 Nvidia version" is supposed to come with the NVIDIA driver preinstalled, which is also the case checking the "Pop!Shop" "Installed" items
BUT when I run the "nvidia-smi" command in the terminal I still get exactly the same issue as I had in Ubuntu 20.04.. : "nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."
Any hints ?
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
That'll tell you what is running your graphics adapter and what it is.
If glxinfo is not found, install mesa-utils and try again.

Hi! you were right Damarrin,

Also, there may be an option in the BIOS?
