What? Something happened to the RTX50/40 series! Nvidia's new driver update results in black screen

To be honest, our 50 series graphics card is also launched, and Nvidia launched the new WHQL 572.83 driver on March 19, but many users found that there are serious problems with this version of the driver, which can easily lead to the sudden black screen of Windows 10/Windows 11 devices.

　　According to the official description, the update of the WHQL 572.83 driver mainly "solves the problem that RTX 5080/5090 cannot perform maximum performance when overclocking, and fixes the black screen problem in some occasions", but ironically, the corresponding update actually brings more black screen problems.

In addition, foreign media revealed that there are different differences in the way Nvidia WHQL 572.83 driver 572.83 causes black screen. However, on the RTX50 series (5070 Ti, 5080, 5090 / D) and RTX40 series graphics cards, the corresponding problems are particularly serious, and some users encounter black screen when installing the driver.

In addition to the black screen problem, a few users also reported that they had a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) report after installing the WHQL 572.83 driver. The BSOD error code seen by some users is "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", which points to nvlddmkm.sys, that is, the NVIDIA driver file, which indicates that the problem is obviously caused by the NVIDIA WHQL 572.83 driver.

NVIDIA has not yet recognized the problems with the WHQL 572.83 driver. If users are using older versions of the driver, it is recommended to avoid installing the new version of the driver until NVIDIA issues an official statement to resolve these problems.
