I have reinstalled the OS and even followed the FAQ for this but nothing seems to help. I just swapped to a new gpu (RTX 3060 TI) after updating the drivers using the script([https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-installer/2021/03/](https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-installer/2021/03/)) and rebooting i got an error which i tried to fix for the past few hours. Gave up and reinstalled it. Now after i pick the kernel i see stuff loading and then black screen. I tried to quickly use ctrl alt f2 after the loading but it dissapeared ---

Are you saying you reinstalled the Nvidia drivers and you are still getting a black screen? What is your hardware? ```auto inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog ``` ---

Have you tried downgrading nvidia packages from `515.76` to `515.65` ? As many with nvidia gpus are having [similar issues](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/nvidia-update-on-sep-23rd-broke-my-video-display/32085). ---

As previously mentioned, your issue can be related to this other thread involving the latest NVIDIA drivers and some RTX3… cards: > [@NVIDIA update on Sep 23rd broke my video/display](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/nvidia-update-on-sep-23rd-broke-my-video-display/32085): > > Hi Yesterday’s NVIDIA update broke my video. Screen going dead some seconds after GRUB menu and loaded libraries. My video card is a GTX3060. Computer is alive and I can ssh into it… so need to roll back to libraries versions before that update. Just in case someone hasn’t updated these NVIDIA libraries, be careful. ---

Nvidia driver was the problem. Didn’t really have time to write ab update vut downgrading to the version fron 7th of August(previous dkms version) fixed the issue ---

I guess it’s only affecting the newer RTX cards. I didn’t have any issue with my GTX 1060. ---

More like certain models. There are people with 30 series cards who it doesn’t affect. There are ppl with 900 series cards that it affects ---

That could be true. I don’t know the underlying cause but it does seem to be the newer cards is all i meant. ---
