Maybe a stupid idea, but try manually selecting the SSD in boot menu. I don’t trust UEFI/BIOS to do what it’s supposed to after finding out that HP UEFI simply wipes all boot entries after booting an external drive.
I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen.
That does sound familiar from when I used GeForce 8600M GT laptop. Nouveau mostly worked, but the official NVidia driver did this. What worked was switching to an old kernel, Linux 5.4 on that thing. But I don’t like this “solution”.

I tried changing the order in Bios and switching order manually with F12. Same result. : (
Yeah, the black screen… When I did it and it went black, it came back to me that I had tried that before with the same result I’m a slow learner! lol
