Whenever I try to play a game, the first button click black screens the game, then I lose signal to my pc. The pc stays on and after about 5 mins of no signal it restarts itself. Before anyone says something about 60 hz, I was already running at that refresh rate and had the same problems. I’m not sure if it matters but I have a MSI Gaming Trio 5090.

  • Blackout/instability/undetected issues- If the PCIe slot used by the GPU is set to PCIe 5.0/auto try forcing the slot to PCIe 4.0 in the motherboard BIOS. If a PCIe riser is being used, temporarily remove the PCIe riser and try the GPU directly in the PCIe slot
  • Stuck in a PCIe mode e.g. PCIe 1.1 (Poor performance/Shown in GPU-Z) - Try changing ASPM/PEG-ASPM i.e. set to L0 and/or try setting Native ASPM to OS Controlled in the motherboard BIOS.
  • Poor performance & lower than average clock speeds - Disable NVIDIA App auto-tuning. If you are using MSI Afterburner, please disable "Unlock voltage control", "Unlock voltage monitoring" and "Force constant voltage" in the settings menu, reset/reinstall MSI Afterburner and restart your computer.

May I know your monitor model or resolution?

I'm trying to rule out any cable problems or faulty GPU

If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:

  • Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
  • You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

  • Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
  • Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
  • During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
  • Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.

If you are upgrading your GPU, even if your previous GPU is from Nvidia, you will still need to perform a clean install of the drivers after installing the GPU to remove old device settings and shader cache. Please perform the following steps in order to successfully install a new GPU and the drivers.

  • Ensure that you have downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers from Nvidia website..
  • Remove the existing Nvidia/Intel/AMD driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
  • Shut down your PC and install your new GPU.
  • Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
  • Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
  • During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
  • Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.

And with further testing it seems the game I was playing was the problem (I tried many others)

Very unfortunate bc it was working fine at first, but Indiana jones is now unplayable
