- Nvidia GPUs face another error that causes black screen blockages
- This affects the RTX 5060 and 5060 TI GPUs and will not allow you to start the desktop
- Nvidia has a hand solution, but applying it could be a somewhat complicated issue for some people, although the impact of this error is not very widespread, apparently
Nvidia has launched a solution for graphics card owners RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 ti that are watching their PC start on a black screen.
This is an unpleasant problem, of course, leaves those affected to those who cannot use their PC unless they have some way of moving through the black screen that is presented and starting the starting process, instead of allowing people to reach their desk.
Videocardz highlighted the confirmation of NVIDIA of this problem in a support document that also provides a tool to cure the Showstopping error, namely, the UEFI NVIDIA GPU V2.0 Firmware Update tool.
Nvidia makes it very clear that this patch, which is an update for the BIOS of the motherboard, should only be installed by those who find black screen problems. If this problem does not affect you, do not take this tool.
Of course, there is a small problem in terms of discharge and use of the tool in a PC with this error, since, as mentioned, apparently it cannot reach the desktop in the first place.
Not with a normal start, anyway, so NVIDIA provides a list of solutions so that its PC starts in its support material. That includes addressing the BIOS (which you can do before your PC begins to start, following the instructions provided with your computer or motherboard) and ensuring that you are in UEFI start mode and not in Legacy/CSM mode.
This is because the latter can cause the problem of the black screen, but keep in mind that some PC (older) may not have an UEFI option, in which case, NVIDIA advises you to “contact the customer service of its manufacturer of graphics cards for an inherited vbios update.” (It does not mean Nvidia itself, of course, but the manufacturer of its Board, such as Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.).
The other main trick that should work to get to the desktop is whether it has integrated graphics (in its processor), can change to use it (in the configuration of bios graphics) instead of its NVIDIA GPU. Or if your CPU does not have integrated graphics, you can use another NVIDIA GPU (old or borrowed) on your PC temporarily.
ANALYSIS: A frustrating problem with a limited impact
This is a knotty problem, then, or it could be in some scenarios, which may require a little toy to get to a place where you can install the patch to solve it.
That is far from ideal, but the good news is that there are no many players affected by this error, as Videcardz points out. It is comforting to listen in some way, even if it can partially be a reflection of the lack of popularity of the RTX 5060 in particular for several reasons, but clearly some GPU owners will be affected by this inconvenience, otherwise, Nvidia would not bother a patch to cure it.
Unfortunately, NVIDIA graphics card owners have faced black screen problems from starting or black screen blocks during use or daily games, since new GeForce controllers were launched with support for Blackwell GPUs. And that does not extend only to those RTX 5000 graphics cards, but the RTX 4000 models have also been affected (or even the generation before in a dispersion of the reported cases).
In summary, there has been a general winkiness with NVIDIA graphic controllers since the RTX 5000 series arrived, and this is the last episode. In general, it is not a good look for Team Green.
