Has the black screen during the driver install been sorted yet?

Come to think of it, I installed a CUDA toolkit a while back and the screen went black. I was actually going to restart (because it was a long time) then it came back on and I could see it finishing the installation.

I left mine for quite a while, 20 mins odd, and it didn't recover. The ctrl win shift b command didn't work either. Had to force a reboot. It's fine now and says the driver did install.

I assume it might be multimonitor shenanigans. It usually is because they still can't get it sorted, even though people have been using multiple monitors for decades now.

Yea I run 4 displays and the amount of times the driver causes my primary display to black screen on a reboot is just ridiculous. This is even before all these issues. on my 3060Ti too.. so you might be right there.

Yep. I've got my monitor and a TV hooked up. Have had so for the past 5 years odd, across multiple nvidia graphics cards (1080ti>3080>5090) and I've often had to suffer with black screens due to various reasons. It comes and goes, one driver update will be fine, and I don't have black screen issues, and then suddenly they'll cause a regression again. Most recently it happens when I turn my TV on regardless of whether I'm using it for the PC or not. It's just absurd at this point really. Then there's the issue with g-sync, the refresh rates aren't aligned so I often get "flickering" on one of the screens when a game is on the other, another issue that's gone and returned across various driver versions.

Between those and multi-monitor gaming not being that friendly for other reasons such as many games not giving you a monitor selection in-game so you have to keep swapping your main monitor, I've spend large amounts of time just disabling my TV in the driver and using my main monitor for work/gaming only (can't really use the TV for work anyway).

I just don't know how it never gets permanently solved.

Going to give them ago now, I have had the black screen during install for as long aas I can remember now)Since the (5080)

Edit: I used the express installation option instead of custom and no black screen (unsure if this is linked)

Nah I used the express option too, and got a black screen.
 
I also had the black screen with my 5090 during the install which hadn't happened before. Rebooted and installed again on custom and worked second time, their drivers are pony these days.
