Thanks so much for posting this. I had no idea it was an issue. I just recently completed a build on Asus Formula Z690 with the RTX 4090. Everything worked fine for a few days but I ran into this exact issue last night when I was starting to move data over, hook backup drives up etc. and needed to get into the BIOS again. Hopefully this patch will fix it.

For anyone else with the issue, weirdly I discovered that switching from an HDMI connection to DisplayPort seemed to resolve things for me, as a short-term fix.

Fake news! The nVidia die-hard fans always say their drivers (firmware included) are just like magic and never fail!

Probably user error, plugging the card backwards or something!

Do I need the "sarcasm" tag?

In any case, good they fixed it. Buying one of these and not booting must be one hell of a scare XD

Regards.

Asrock discovered the RTX40 issue a couple weeks ago and did a BIOS update to resolve the issue. Other mobo makers are bound to follow. It's an RTX40 issue not really a mobo or BIOS issue.
