RTX 5090 ‘Bricked’? What’s Really Happening & Why You Shouldn’t Worry
Share
Yes, There Were Early Driver Issues — But No, the RTX 5090 Isn’t “Bricking”
Some early adopters of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D noticed black screens or non-detection after installing the initial drivers — prompting panic and claims that cards were “bricked.” However, these were quickly traced back to software and firmware mismatches, not faulty hardware.
NVIDIA has since released updated drivers to address these issues, and partner boards are rolling out BIOS fixes to ensure stability across different platforms.
No melting. No permanent damage. No hardware recalls. Just a temporary hiccup — and now, a fixed one.
