Laptop only boots with dgpu disabled

AyushK · June 17

Title, my Asus F15 FX506LH (i5-10300H, GTX 1650) laptop only boots with the GTX 1650 disabled in the device manager. Enabling it makes the fans spin to max for a while and any new application i try to open will just freeze, and in a few minutes the laptop just locks up completely (Usually without BSODs, but when i do get one the stop code is KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED). Only force shutting it down works and on the next restart onwards the laptop does not display anything after the boot loading screen. After this the only way for me to get into windows has been to get into windows recovery, boot into safe mode, and disable the gpu.

It has been over a month since this issue happened and i've tried many things like reinstalling windows multiple times (also tried linux mint just for this), ddu clean installing, resetting bios to factory settings, reflashing the latest bios, trying different ssds, trying with only one of either of the ram sticks installed, cleaning the motherboard and replacing the thermal paste, starting the machine with most of the components unplugged, flashing a vbios from the internet that has the same hardware ids, and trying to physically put pressure on the gpu die (dumb move but i was desparate).

Nothing has worked and i haven't been able to find anything similar in my searches for this issue. i haven't seen anything abnormal on the board either so i'm not yet convinced that the gpu is dead.
Looking at the specs in gpuz this is what i see-

Any suggestions on what i can try out next? And has someone encountered and managed to fix this issue?
Thank you

A couple of things that things that you can try, turn off Fast Startup and update the drivers. These are the two most common problems causing your situation.

Already did, i tried both the latest and the oldest drivers i could find on the drivers page, same result still

Update, coming across another thread on nvidia's forum site about a laptop gpu not functioning in linux i came across the command dmesg, and it seems to be reporting some of the problems that the gpu is having-

unfortunately i can't make much sense of most of this as i am very much new to programming and linux in general, and i would appreciate if someone could help explain what exactly is going wrong here, and what else i could use to further diagnose this issue. I have attached the full text from the terminal in the text file-
Thank you
