Nvidia has confirmed a black screen bug affecting RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs, preventing users from booting to the desktop.
A fix has been released by Nvidia in the form of the Nvidia GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool v2.0.
The patch is specifically for users experiencing the black screen issue and should not be installed by unaffected individuals.
Users encountering the bug may need to apply various workarounds to gain access to their desktop, such as changing BIOS settings.
Alternative solutions include switching to integrated graphics or using a borrowed Nvidia GPU temporarily.
The impact of this bug appears to be limited, affecting a smaller number of users with RTX 5060 GPUs.
Nvidia graphics card owners have faced black screen problems since the release of new GeForce drivers for Blackwell GPUs, affecting RTX 4000 series as well.
The ongoing black screen issues contribute to concerns over Nvidia's graphics drivers' reliability since the introduction of the RTX 5000 series.
