Hello,
My little brother has an MSI GE62 6QF gaming laptop with a 970M GPU. He was trying to boost his GPU power and changed the VBios using an incorrect version, which caused the laptop to stop working. After entering safe mode and turning off the Nvidia drivers, I deleted those drivers using DDU and reinstalled the original VBios. Still, it doesn’t work. Now whenever I try to install the Nvidia drivers, the laptop freezes. The installation in safe mode worked, but I couldn’t boot the system. It’s now running with the built-in Intel GPU, yet I can’t access the Nvidia GPU without crashing.

If anyone has help with this problem, it would be really appreciated.

It looks like the BIOS update may have damaged your NVIDIA GPU. A tech professional should inspect it at a computer repair shop.
