Black screen on 572.83 install w/ 5090

[torn merlin]

Tried installing the latest drivers(572.83) from 572.70 and it black screens during install, forcing a hard reboot. Tried waiting, tried turning monitor off, tried unplugging and replugging in the DP cables - nothing works. Shows i am on the latest driver after reboot, but if you check custom install it shows the old driver...

Just use 572.75, on my 5090 fe I also had the same problem with black screens. Just not stable yet.

Yeah- lots of cases on Reddit, I’ll just stick to .70 for now until a stable release comes out

Thanks

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.
