[Ajay Anand]

I tried to install the graphics drivers for an nvidia graphics card on a 2021 ASUS scar 15 laptop with an amd ryzen processor and a 3070 graphics card. I tried to do it multiple times in multiple different ways; through the additional software GUI and through the terminal. Neither worked and threw up the prior mentioned error.
