GPU not showing up in lspci, drivers not working, Ubuntu 22.04

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

Hello,

I have tried installing the drivers in so many different ways, but nothing I do makes the card show up in lspci or lshw. I have the latest headers, drivers, secure boot is disabled etc. but no luck so far. The PC is running in headless mode (no display attached), but for my latest attempt I installed all drivers normally (sudo apt-get install nvidia-open and sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers after adding the keyring).
Please find the logs below, perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can spot what is wrong. Thanks, and sorry for yet another “my GPU isn’t working in Linux” post.

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

If the card isn’t showing in lspci, no driver will find it as the system has not recognised it.

Check to make sure it’s properly seated and if so, try another PCIe slot if you haven’t already.

Thanks for the info. It is possible that this is a hardware issue. I will post an update if/when I get a chance to try the card on a different motherboard in a few weeks.
