Blank Screen Glitch On GeForce RTX 4090 & 4080 Fixed
NVIDIA is rolling out a new firmware update to resolve blank screen issues that are occurring on GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 graphics cards.
NVIDIA has reported having instances during system boot that the screen is blank and is not linked to the melting or malfunctioning of the 12VHPWR cable issue. To combat the problem, the green team has rolled out an update to the Firmware Update Tool that is set to eliminate the issue for users.
This is not a minimal issue that could, under normal circumstances, be solved by downloading a new driver. This is because the problem occurs during boot and not during regular use. As such, the company created a firmware upgrade to stop the issues from arising. This firmware update is now available for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 graphics cards.
The recent few years have been a roller coaster for Nvidia because of many issues that rose along the way. It includes miners buying all GPUs with bots and Nvidia not able to maintain stock due to high demands.
NVIDIA GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool v1.2
The NVIDIA GPU Firmware Update Tool will detect whether the firmware update is needed, and if needed, will give the user the option to update it.
If you are currently experiencing a blank screen, please try one of the following workarounds in order to run the tool:
- Ensure you are using the latest SBIOS from your motherboard vendor
- Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy/CSM
- Boot using an alternate graphics source (secondary card or integrated graphics)
