Black screen issue on 4080S FE and Win10

If you encounter a black screen after driver installation and cannot boot into Windows desktop, do the following:

  1. Restart the computer. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard before clicking "Restart" in the power options menu in Start. It should make Windows Recovery pop up. Start your computer in Safe Mode.

If you don't know how to enter safe mode, follow the following steps:
a. A "Choose an Option" screen should pop up, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
b. After the computer restarts, a list of options should appear. Select 4 or F4 to start the computer in Safe Mode. The computer should restart in Safe Mode now.

  1. Once in Safe Mode, press the Windows Key and X at the same time. This will make a list of options show up.
  2. Select Device Manager and then a window will pop up. Select "Display adapters", and your graphics card name will show up.
  3. Go into Properties of the graphics card and click on "Drivers" tab. Click "Disable Device".
  4. Restart your computer, and it should work normally, but the resolution will be either: at a very low resolution, or: same resolution, but everything is very laggy, and it tears.
  5. Uninstall the NVIDIA driver from Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, or use DDU to remove the driver. Then, go to the NVIDIA website and download the driver for your graphics card (if you intend to use an older version, use driver version 566.36 or older, which was released before the RTX 50 series and DLSS 4 updates.).
