I installed Ubuntu on a brand new MSI GS65 and everything worked great. After I connected my monitor using USB-C it asked to add it to the list of authorized devices which I did.

However a reboot later I started to see a slew of logs that look like:

ACPI Error : No handler or method registered for GPE xx : Disabling event YY.

I just see the spew of logs. Windows continues to boot great. I removed Ubuntu completely and formatted the HDD which contained the Ubuntu install to NTFS. The second HDD is working well and I got back to a setup where I only have Windows.

At this point I tried to reinstall Ubuntu from a USB and this time the installer won’t boot at all (with the same errors). This is the same USB I used to install Ubuntu to begin with.

Any ideas on what might be going on, and what I can do to fix this?

I have Secure Boot turned off.

    I get several ACPI errors but my system works fine. Some brands/models need boot parameters.

oldfred is correct. I performed a UEFI BIOS update, and we are back in business. Thank you so much.

Additional Note: Enabling Thunderbolt Firmware Updates in the BIOS also causes things to break. So don't do that either.
