If you're getting a blank screen on reboot with an RTX 50-series GPU, use this Nvidia firmware updater

If you've just bought an RTX 50-series card and are experiencing a blank screen upon system reboot, Nvidia has pushed out a GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool that should fix the problem. And while the company only advertises it for RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti cards, it looks like it is reportedly compatible with other RTX 50-series GPUs. Though I would hold off updating unless you're having the blank screen problem.

Nvidia says: "To ensure compatibility with certain motherboards, an update to the NVIDIA GPU firmware may be required. Without the update, GeForce RTX 5060 series cards [5060 Ti and RTX 5060] in certain legacy motherboards could experience blank screens on reboot. This update should only be applied if blank screens are occurring on reboot."
