Fedora OS not able to recognise the nvidia gpu driver

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hello,

We were trying to install the nvidia gpu driver and cuda toolkit on Fedora 36, but unfortunately the system is not able to recognize the gpu driver. We are using DELL precision 7920 workstation

#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.

Can you help me to troubleshoot the issue.

Thank you

Please disable secure boot in bios.

I do not have much knowledge in Linux. Could you tell me how to do that.

That’s not Linux. It’s before the OS gets loaded:
Dell owner’s manual:
To enter the system setup, press F2 immediately after a power-on or reboot.
Secureboot:
