Black screen on grub menu and uefi, like the nvidia drivers load with the system, not before? And games stopped to run

us flag

Long story short, I had a working Ubuntu 23.04 but then power surge happened, my uefi settings (bios) were probably reset and I lost video output on DP. I've fixed it I thought, but as most of the bios changes were educated guesses and now I have some problems with other things (Steam game I was playing went from random freezes to not running at all) I wanted to revise the changes I've made, before that I've reinstalled nvidia drivers with ubuntu-drivers, but now I can't enter bios anymore: I can't see grub menu, it's there and it can be interacted with, I just have black screen on top of it... and even if I go all the way to the bottom in the dark, to the firmware settings option, I can't see anything... clicking F2 or Delete won't show me anything either... it's like the GPU starts working after Ubuntu actually boots, and it's true for both open-source and propetiary nvidia drivers. And now none of my Steam games run at all... I believe it's all connected, but I have no idea what to do... these are messages when the games fail to run, maybe that will be important to figure it out:

What brand/model system? What model nVidia? Did you purge before reinstalling driver? Otherwise you can get conflicts. https://askubuntu.com/questions/813676/installing-ubuntu-mate-with-dual-boot-option-on-windows-10-usb-booting-not-hap/814413#814413 To see if driver installed: `dkms status`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
