Open a terminal or command prompt window.
Navigate to the directory where you have the NVIDIA drivers installed. The location can vary depending on your operating system. Here are some common default locations:
Linux: /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/
Windows: C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\Display.DriverVersion\ or C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\
Run the following command to generate the bug report log:
Linux: nvidia-bug-report.sh
Windows: nvidia-bug-report.exe
Wait for the tool to collect the necessary information. It may take a few moments.
Once the bug report is complete, it will generate a file named something like nvidia-bug-report.log.gz. The file is typically saved in the same directory where you ran the command.
You can then locate the generated nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file and use it for troubleshooting purposes.
You may need to extract the contents of the compressed file using a decompression tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR, to access the log files within.
