Comment 91 for bug 1752053

so, I downloaded various versions of the Linux drivers directly from Nvidia.com website. Went thru the installation process - each time starting over from scratch, formatting and reinstalling Ubuntu 18.04 so I would have a "blank canvas" to work with. This process failed too. My thinking was that perhaps the Nvidia drivers may/may not contain a component that would not break the laptop. But this was a futile effort.

Guess I will wait for a few more suggestions/ideas on how to get this graphics card working once and for all.
