4090 Reboot after driver install

[rugged rivet]

For the second time now i need to reboot my PC after i update my GPU drivers
Im on 576.52 now, it happened with this one and the previous one.

I download the driver and then Express install it. When it get to the part where usually the screen goes black and then turns on again it never turns on and i need to reboot my PC.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

probably a installer bug if it recovers afterwards, but just to be sure

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.
