Having updated to the recent nvidia drivers on the 1st., since then sometimes when I boot computer - it doesn’t bring up the screen, won’t load past bios then reboots and works. This has happened a handful. Of times since the recent update.
Anyone else had this issue and know a workaround?
Thanks, Chris
Hello
Take a look at what I comment before.
I would uninstall the 497.09 driver and GeforceExperience.
So try to see to put only the driver that best suits your GPU model.
The trouble you’ve got though, youre downgrading a long way and the features of msfs2020 rely on updated drivers, the sims built around it.
yes… In case you run into trouble with 497.09 is the recommendation to go one step back and not install years old drivers 
I hope you have “only” issues with the nvidia driver, because trouble to come into the BIOS sounds a bit different.
I don’t believe the two things are directly related. BIOS only coordinates the hardware in your computer and knows on which drive your operating system (Windows) is installed. As long as BIOS is running the system hasn’t even started booting Windows. So the drivers cannot have been loaded yet either.
So if the BIOS throws you out, it’s more likely hardware related. Did you change any hardware or clock settings? I’ve been having exactly this problem after I pushed my RAM chips a little too hard. Since I set them a notch lower it’s been fine
If that is true.
But I don’t have any visible problem.
Otherwise with 497.09 everything was trouble.
Driver 496.49 works real good! improved frame rates.
Well, I sort of had a similar problem a few years ago. My computer had a non-SSD boot drive, a physical drive with spinning disk platters. The drive was inexpensive and wasn’t the highest quality. The platters would expand and shrink depending on the temperature. Booting a cold hard drive the disk platter shrunk enough so the drive couldn’t find Windows so booted into the bios. The bios didn’t show any problems so I rebooted. The drive had been spinning, the drive had become warmer, and the platter expanded enough to find and boot Windows.
Whenever a bios screen is displayed when booting, it is usually a hardware, electrical, or temperature problem, not a Windows or driver problem. Since the computer works fine sometimes and sometimes doesn’t, a component may be failing soon.
By this do you mean that it performs a POST which then fails and dumps you into the BIOS config?
This indicates that an issue was discovered or occured during Power on self ttest.
There could be a number of reasons for this but GPU drivers are pretty low on that list as this is in fact happening to your system before the OS (and therefore the drivers) have loaded.
The easiest and most definitive test with regards drivers is to start in safe mode. No drivers at all.
If your motherboard has a dual bios it’s also quite possible that the failed start is bios 1 which may have some config issues and which then switches to bios 2 with a more default “safe” setting which does work.
A cause for this could (for example) be an aggressive overclock or memory timings which simply cause a failed POST.
