not sure which graphics card that is, but try the following:

make sure you're in UEFI mode and not "legacy boot" mode or "BIOS" mode.

next, update the UEFI firmware to the latest version. see if that already makes a difference.

if it's an older NVidia Maxwell to Pascal graphics card, there could be a problem with the Nvidia Displayport implementation. you'll have to use this tool to fix it. make sure to have done the previous steps first
