Installed Fedora 38 and completely updated, then followed the rpmfusion instructions for installing the nvidia drivers. Once logged in the screen will go black after a few seconds. I have to force restart with the machines power button. This will happen once or twice, then it is stable after that. It will vary occasionally drop to black screen intermittently after that, but usually it doesnt happen after the first once/twice.
Any help is appreciated…

Is this a laptop? It seems the laptops with the RTX 4090 were only released in February, so it is extremely new hardware, which puts one on the leading edge for testing & performance.
It is possible that that hardware is so new that the drivers from rpmfusion might not be 100% as far as supporting the laptop hardware.
Please post the output of inxi -Fzxx so we may see more details about the system.
Also the output of cat /proc/cmdline.
It seems you have done the proper thing for installing the drivers and this may be solely related to the most current hardware you have.
No not a laptop…
Looks like I may have fixed it (
). After doing the RPMfusion Nvidia Multimedia directions it seems stable now.
Boot up also seems smoother now for some reason…
Spoke too soon 
just happened again when switching users…
Ok still having issues… It seems to load properly after 1-2 reboots. I can tell when the black screen will happen as it take much longer to boot. When the boot is real quick, I dont get the black screen. (My black screen happens about 30 sec after logging in).
Here is the info you asked for:
