Nvidia-smi shows no devices were found although driver is installed

I recently installed my nvidia driver using sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535(this was the recommended option), but when I run nvidia-smi, no devices are found. It is important to mention that I uninstalled all nvidia drivers before installing the current one. These are my specifications and different outputs that may be useful:

I’ll attach my bug report here. Thank you in advance.

NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x24:0x72:1435)
The gpu fails to initialize. Please try an ealier driver, e.g. 470. If that doesn’t work, it might be broken.

Thank you for the suggestion. As requested I tried with the earlier driver, but no success. I attached the new bug report if that helps find any other root causes. Do you still think my hardware is the issue?

Yes, I guess the gpu is broken, please check warranty status.

That’s a shame; I’ll have to look into that. And thanks again for all your help.

You might want to install Windows to double-check.

So I tried with windows, but sadly no luck. Thanks again.
