Hi @zovek182

By reading your bug log, the Nvidia driver is not correctly installed and nouveau is still active.
Please follow this instruction here → Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion

Blacklisting nouveau

$ echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Remove nouveau driver

$ dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau

Edit /etc/sysconfig/grub

Append ‘rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau’ to end of ‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=

## Example row ##
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau"

Update grub2 conf

## For BIOS ##
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

## For UEFI ##
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

Generate initramfs

## Backup old initramfs nouveau image ##
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
 
## Create new initramfs image ##
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Install the latest Nvidia driver from here - Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD driver 450.66 [long-lived branch release]
