• Nvidia’s GPUs are dealing with one other bug inflicting black display crashes
• This impacts RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs and received’t allow you to boot to the desktop
• Nvidia has a repair handy, however making use of it may very well be a considerably difficult matter for some people – although the affect of this bug isn’t widespread, apparently

Nvidia has launched a repair for house owners of RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti graphics playing cards who’re seeing their PC boot to a black display.

This can be a nasty drawback, after all, leaving these affected unable to make use of their PC until they’ve a way of getting across the black display that’s presenting itself and bringing the boot course of to a screeching halt, as a substitute of permitting individuals to get to their desktop.

VideoCardz highlighted Nvidia’s affirmation of this drawback in a assist doc which additionally offers a device to remedy the showstopping bug, particularly the Nvidia GPU UEFI Firmware Replace Software v2.0.

Nvidia makes it very clear that this patch – which is an replace for the motherboard BIOS – ought to solely be put in by those that are encountering black display woes. If you happen to aren’t affected by this situation, don’t seize this device.

After all, there’s a slight drawback by way of downloading and utilizing the device on a PC with this bug, provided that as talked about, you seemingly can’t get to the desktop within the first place.

Not with a standard boot, anyway, which is why Nvidia offers an inventory of workarounds to get your PC booted in its assist materials. That features heading into the BIOS (which you are able to do earlier than your PC begins as well, following the directions supplied together with your laptop or motherboard) and guaranteeing you might be in UEFI boot mode and never Legacy/CSM mode.

That’s as a result of the latter may cause the black display drawback, however do observe that some (older) PCs could not have a UEFI choice, through which case, Nvidia advises you to “contact customer support of your graphics card producer for a legacy VBIOS replace.” (Not which means Nvidia itself, after all, however the maker of your board, similar to Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and so forth).

The opposite major trick that ought to work to get to the desktop is you probably have built-in graphics (in your processor), you possibly can change to make use of that (within the BIOS graphics settings) as a substitute of your Nvidia GPU. Or in case your CPU doesn’t have built-in graphics, you possibly can use an one other (previous or borrowed) Nvidia GPU in your PC quickly.

Evaluation: A irritating situation with restricted affect

This can be a knotty drawback, then, or it may very well be in some situations, probably requiring a little bit of fiddling round to get to a spot the place you may set up the patch to resolve it.

That’s removed from best, however the excellent news is that there don’t appear to be many players affected by this bug, as VideoCardz factors out. That’s comforting to listen to in some methods – even when it might partially be a mirrored image of the dearth of recognition of the RTX 5060 particularly for numerous causes – however clearly some GPU house owners shall be hit by this snag, in any other case Nvidia wouldn’t be bothering with a patch to remedy it.

Sadly, Nvidia graphics card house owners have been dealing with black display points from boot, or black display lock-ups throughout on a regular basis use or gaming, ever since new GeForce drivers had been launched with assist for Blackwell GPUs. And that doesn’t simply lengthen to these RTX 5000 graphics playing cards, both, however RTX 4000 fashions have been affected too (and even the technology earlier than that in a scattering of reported circumstances).

Briefly, there’s been a common wonkiness with Nvidia’s graphics drivers for the reason that RTX 5000 collection arrived, and that is the newest episode. All in all, it’s not a very good search for Group Inexperienced.
