NVIDIA Addresses RTX 5090/5090D GPU Failures, Initiates Investigation into Reported Problems

In light of several reports surfacing about the GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs becoming inoperable, NVIDIA is now on the case, delving into the issue to find out what’s going on.

### NVIDIA Investigates Bricked RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D GPUs

Over the past few days, there’s been a surge in reports about the RTX 5090 and its Chinese counterpart, the RTX 5090D, hitting a snag. People have been encountering the same frustrating problem and, despite trying all sorts of fixes, they’re not having much success keeping their GPUs alive.

Some users have managed to temporarily get around the issue using unconventional methods, but these cases are few and far between. For most folks, the problem remains stubbornly persistent. This mounting pile of complaints eventually reached NVIDIA, prompting the company to act. According to PC Gamer, NVIDIA finally broke its silence with the statement:

> We are investigating the reported issues with the RTX 50 series.

And that’s about as much as they’ve shared. While the details are scant, it’s a relief to see NVIDIA acknowledging the situation. For those out of the loop, this problem has got many RTX 5090 and 5090D users scratching their heads. After updating to the newest NVIDIA driver, their monitors only display a black screen.

It doesn’t end there. Even rolling back to an earlier driver doesn’t seem to resurrect the GPU; it’s as if the device has disappeared entirely, not showing up in Device Manager or BIOS. Some desperate users even went as far as resetting their BIOS settings, but that only led to more frustration.

Right now, the root of the problem is still a mystery. Some speculate it’s linked to the architecture or driver compatibility, rather than hardware defects. Everyone is eagerly awaiting a response from NVIDIA that might finally shed light on a permanent fix for these troubling bricking issues with the RTX 5090 and 5090D.
