RTXFixer: Black Screen Handshake Utility
A downloadable tool
Does your monitor stay black when waking your PC?
If you own an NVIDIA RTX 40-series or 50-series GPU and experience a black screen or "No Signal" issue after sleep, resume, or boot, RTXFixer is designed to help.
RTXFixer is a lightweight background utility that safely forces Windows to re-apply your active display mode, triggering the GPU and monitor to renegotiate their connection. This often restores video output instantly without requiring a reboot or driver restart.
Works With
- RTX 40 Series (4060, 4070, 4080, 4090, etc.)
- RTX 50 Series (5060, 5070, 5080, 5090, etc.)
- Designed for single-monitor setups (HDMI/DisplayPort)
Features
- Automatic Protection: Runs silently in the background and applies the fix automatically when your PC resumes from sleep.
- Manual Hotkey: Press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12at any time to force a display reset if your screen goes black. - Audio Feedback: Beep codes confirm activity and success even when the screen is not visible.
- System Tray Icon: Runs minimized with a shield icon. Right-click to force a fix or exit.
How to Use
- Download and unzip the folder.
- Run
RTXFixer.exe - (Note: If it doesn't open, install the free
- .NET Desktop Runtime)
- Optional (Set & Forget): To have it run automatically every time you turn on your PC, create a shortcut of the .exe and place it in your Windows Startup folder (
Win+R> typeshell:startup). - The app will run silently in your system tray (shield icon).
- If your screen goes black, press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12.
Audio Codes (Beeps)
- 2 Low Beeps: Fix sequence started.
- 1 High Beep: Success (Display should return).
- 3 Fast Beeps: Error (No active display detected — check your cables).
What This Tool Does NOT Do
- Does not install or modify GPU drivers.
- Does not permanently change display settings or registry keys.
- Does not overclock or alter hardware behavior.
- Does not fix physically faulty cables, adapters, or broken monitors.
- RTXFixer simply re-applies valid display modes using standard Windows APIs.
