Having trouble with LLM on 43-KDE using LM Studio

I’m trying to ditch Windows 11 so installed Fedora 43 KDE on my Lenovo P1Gen7 laptop. Got all the updates. Loaded LM Studio and dl’ed a llm. It worked! Downloaded a different llm, from brighteon.ai , outside of LM Studio and it didn’t work. Get message “There is no context. This llm has nothing to say.” Also get a popup message saying out of video buffer or something like that. Searched all over, tried a bunch of stuff but no joy. Beginning to think my hardware can’t run it, even though it meets the specs. Anyone else having similar issues or know what’s going on here? I’ve got 1TB/32GB,RTX-2000 8GB,Intel 155H cpu. Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m liking Fedora but there’s definitely a learning curve!
