Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q1-2025

yeah double click on NV.exe is too hard and easy to be used for FUD and more click bait

Perhaps you should read more before making such a statement. Admittingly this is from Tom's but if you reboot and get nothing but a black screen you're gonna have a bad time.

To apply the fix, you must first boot into the Operating System, which might be a hassle given the current predicament. Nvidia suggests the following temporary workarounds to boot with a display:

• Completely power down your system before booting.
• Ensure you are using the latest SBIOS from your motherboard vendor.
• Ensure you are in UEFI boot mode and not Legacy/CSM.
• Boot using an alternate graphics source (secondary card or integrated graphics).
• After powering on your system, wait for your operating system to load with the graphics driver installed.

The fact that you may very well need an iGPU or secondary GPU to get your card working again is a big deal. What if you are running Zen 3 or bought a F SKU CPU from Intel? You could very well be boned. Blackwell has had some issues but this one is really bad.

You get Nvidia tool is just a exe file, and no I do not need to read more to see the ppl fuding NV, card just come out even if there is issue with some mainboards its not something big at all as those stupid sites use it for bait clicking

Turn off your monitor, then tell us how you run that exe file.

It state: "black screen on reboot" so that mean clean power on you get the screen

Maybe, maybe not. Why else would Nvidia include instructions to use an iGPU or second GPU if need be? Also, I've never seen a fix that required an end user update a GPU BIOS. That's a recipe for disastor for your average user. It's just adding more to the 💩 show that is Black(screen)well. Nvidia acknowledges the issue, it isn't just click bait.

I suppose if it was set up for RDP you could do it. But yea that's not a realistic ask.
