NVIDIA has temporarily pulled its newest GeForce Game Ready and Studio driver, version 595.59 WHQL, after confirming a bug that quickly sparked widespread complaints from gamers. The update was released with optimizations aimed at Resident Evil Requiem, including support for DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Ray Reconstruction, but many users say installing it caused major stability and performance problems.
Not long after the driver went live, users began reporting black screens and system freezing, with a noticeable number of complaints coming from owners of RTX 50 series graphics cards. Reports describe instability across multiple games, and many affected users said they couldn’t find a reliable workaround. Some also tied the update to overheating behavior, unexpected crashes, and repeated black-screen events, raising concerns that the driver wasn’t ready for broad release.
A second cluster of complaints focused on GPU fan control. According to user reports, fan control utilities either stopped working entirely or ignored custom fan curves and configurations. Some gamers also mentioned locked voltages and performance drops after updating, suggesting the problem may extend beyond a single isolated bug and could involve deeper issues with how the driver behaves across different setups.
NVIDIA has acknowledged the situation and removed the driver downloads while it investigates. If you already installed version 595.59 WHQL and are experiencing problems—especially with fan control—NVIDIA’s recommended solution is to roll back to driver version 591.86 WHQL, which the company is pointing to as the stable fallback for now.
If your PC started showing black screens, freezing, crashes, overheating, or performance loss after the update, following the rollback guidance may help restore normal stability until an updated driver is released.
