After receiving numerous complaints about GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards malfunctioning completely, NVIDIA has begun looking into the issue.
Recent days have seen a surge in reports concerning the non-functioning RTX 5090 GPUs and their Chinese counterpart, the RTX 5090D. Many users frustrated by this problem have tried countless troubleshooting techniques, but the issue stubbornly remains for most. A few users claim to have found temporary fixes through unconventional means, yet for the majority, luck hasn’t been on their side as their GPU issues persist.
The extent of the problem finally caught NVIDIA’s attention, prompting them to take action. According to a source from PC Gamer, NVIDIA had a brief statement:
_”We are investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50 series.”_

While NVIDIA hasn’t provided detailed commentary yet, acknowledging the existence of the problem is a step in the right direction. If you’re not up-to-speed on the situation, we recently published an article breaking down all the details. To sum it up, owners of the RTX 5090 and 5090D began experiencing issues right after updating their NVIDIA drivers—their screens went completely black and failed to display anything.
This was a common thread among many reports—once the latest NVIDIA driver was installed, things started going haywire. The complication escalated to a point where even reverting to an older driver version failed to resolve the matter. Some users went as far as resetting the BIOS, but even that couldn’t coax their GPU back to life—it simply vanished from the Device Manager and the BIOS alike.
The core issue still remains a mystery, though some speculate that it may be an architectural or driver compatibility problem rather than a hardware fault. Until NVIDIA provides a comprehensive resolution, users are left hanging without a permanent fix for these bricked RTX 5090 and 5090D cards. We’ll keep an eye on NVIDIA’s response and hopefully, more clarity and solutions are on the horizon.
