I'm a Linux beginner so please be patient with me

So I tried to install ubuntu 18.04 on my ASUS FX553VE Laptop, after the installation completed I decided to install nvidia drivers for my GTX 1050 Ti mobile GPU by using the Software Updater Utility software and install nvidia-drivers-440 (recomended) optional package.

After reboot none of my USB 2.0/3.0 ports were working, as well as my integrated keyboard and the SDcard slot. The only thing that work is my touchpad. So the only way i can interact with my machine is to use visual keyboard and the touchpad. The problem is ocure even before ubuntu boots up, I can't press any keys to get to the BIOS or to change GRUB config before startup. External keyboards don't seems to get any power from USB ports too.

I tried to purge nvidia drivers by doing so :

sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo 'nouveau' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules 

source : How can I uninstall a nvidia driver completely ?

That did nothing.

I also tried to boot up from my sdcard slot with a freshly flashed Ubuntu iso on it, like the USB ports, no power is getting through it.

lsusb command return nothing as well as dmesg | grep -i usb

Maybe the problem is comming from a bad power management due to incompatible GPU drivers ?

here's a dmesg log : https://semestriel.framapad.org/p/r.ea3bdd6eb84591447693f06547c2dc8b

Any help would be appreciated.
