Hello everyone, I'm getting an error 43 code in my device manager for my graphics card. I have tried absolutely everything such as uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them, resetting my pc to factory settings, updating my bios, downloading older drivers and much more. I'm really not sure what to do now as I have followed every google and YouTube tutorial and have had no success. I have tried 3 different graphics cards and still get the same problem. I have also got a new motherboard as I thought that was the problem before. if anyone who could advise me on what to do next that would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, I just got an msi rx 580 OC edition graphics card, and when I booted up to windows ten, I saw that in device manager, it says that my gpu is an rx 590. It also says that "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." I also can't get the drivers for it, because the radeon driver installer keeps thinking its a rx 590, instead of an rx 580. Help Please!!!

Hello everyone! I'm having a small issue with a Gainward GTX 660. I bought from a person on prohardver.hu here in Hungary. The seller said that the GPU is not working, windows xp to 10's message:" Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.". The seller says that "It works under Linux" and it sure did! So I guess the GPU is not deffective And it works flawlessly! But I wanna play my games on Windows rather than Linux :') I already did a DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), reinstalled the drivers a couple times. Even did some reflowing with a help of some flux and a hot air gun (I knew what I was doing ) and it did not fixed the problem I think it is not a hardware problem, I'm guessing it is the problem with the GPU's BIOS. I wrote on the prohardver forum in order to get some help, but sadly every tech person is offline and I realy wanna know if this thing works or not :)) So what do you guys think? Should I try to update the BIOS? If so, then where can I find proper "tutorial" about the subject? Thank you for the replies :R - SPECS - Mobo : AsRock Extreme 3 (770 chipset) CPU: Athlon x3 445 GPU: Gainward GTX 660 2Gb Ram: 2x2Gb DDR3 and 2x1Gb DDR3 @1333Ghz Soundcard: SB0090 PSU: Nexus 5080 Semi-modular Storage is 2 HDD, 250Gb and 400Gb Well cooled parts

Earlier today, while using my computer I went to open a game and my screen went black and froze for a good while. Turned my PC off, and back on. While trying to sign in and also trying to get all my programs opened again, my computer kept freezing with a black screen. After many attempts, it eventually became stable but the screen looks now as it does in the photos attached. I proceeded to remove the GPU, and plug the VGA cable into my mobo. The screen appeared fine, so I cleaned the graphics cards contacts and the dust out (honestly it was pretty clean). When I put the card back in and plugged the VGA from my second monitor in, the problem came back. I then used only the HDMI cable of my main monitor and still the same problem. I suspect that my GPU is dying (EVGA GTX 780 SC) as it is soon to be 3 years old. I have had no overclocking done to it and kept it fairly clean from the very beginning. Geforce Experience detects the card, but both Precision X and MSI Afterburner do not detect it, and the Device Manager has detected Error 43 with it. I tried troubleshooting error 43 (uninstall device then scan for hardware changes) which didnt fix anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers many times now with no fix. Unfortunately I dont have a restore point saved (might have deleted it accidentally) and at this point am looking for help! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I got a gpu from my friend who tought it was dead. It was showing the error 43. I pluged it in played about an hour with drivers and suddenly got it to work. Then I left it off for couple of hours. When I got back all was ok. So I moved it to my room and it didnt go on. The display went on only from mobo hdmi using the integrated graphics. So I tried all the uninstalling agin and again and after few hours I got it to work. Played few games and all was okay. So I normally turned the pc off and went to sleep. At morning the gpu wasnt working and its not working till now. Tried everything again. But windows still showing error 43. Do you have any tips? Or is the gpu really dead? I would be okay with that but I got it to work so that seems wierd to me. Thanks for any reply.

Hi LTT dudes, So about two weeks ago, I purchased a custom build desktop from a guy that I trusted. The rig ran fine for the entire duration until two days ago, when it unexpectedly crashed while I was cruising around in The Crew. Immediately when it crashed, the screen seemed to show the default 'your PC has crashed' Windows 10 message, however I'm assuming that's the case because I couldn't actually see the message; what I noticed instantly was horrendous artifacting that continued even in the BIOS/bootup. After an auto restart, the artifacting is still there (It still is) and device manager showed error 43 and that the driver was disabled. The resolution of course, was also lowered automatically due to that. After Googling and trying out some of the solutions (draining power, clean reinstalling drivers) the problem isn't fixed. Upon doing some extensive research, I'm convinced that it's a defective card (which was what my builder thinks too) since it wouldn't make sense that a card would die after 2 weeks of running games way below its potential. I already have plans to head down to the distributor to get an exchange. Here are my specs: CPU : i5-6500 @ 3.2GHz GPU : ZOTAC Geforce GTX 1060 3GB Mobo : Gigabyte H110M-DS2 RAM : G.Skill DDR4 8GB Single Storage : OCZ TR150 240GB SSD PSU : FSP HEXA+ 550 OS : Windows 10 Home 64bit I can put up screenshots of artifacting/other stuff if needed. If anything, what I'm trying to find out here is whether the GPU is dead or not.

Hey everyone, I've somehow managed to royally screw up my GPU in my laptop. I keep getting Code 43 in Windows 10 Device Manager and I can't use my GPU for games. I can install drivers for the GPU, but they don't seem to install properly and Geforce Experience will not register installation. I also no longer have access to the NVidia Control Panel. HW Monitor does not detect the GPU but GPU-Z does show it, but the sensors detect clocks of 0 MHz and nothing else. I initially discovered that my GPU wasn't working after I had installed Pop! OS Linux, when I would load into a game with my dedicated GPU selected, but get terrible frame rates. I have the same issue installing drivers on Linux as I do on Windows. I've tried to fix the issue, mainly focusing on trying to get my GPU to work in Windows because I had a specific error to chase after, I uninstalled the driver using Device Manager, Programs and Features, and Display Driver Remover but when I try to reinstall after a restart, the problem persists. I just wiped Windows hoping for a clean slate, but the issue is still following me. Is my GPU a lost cause at this point?

So a friend of mine recently just gave his 780 ti to me. He said it was soft bricked because he attempted to install the skynet BIOS to the card and that it prevented him from installing drivers onto to it. So when I got the card it was detected almost instantly as a 780ti but beside it's name in device manager showed a little yellow exclamation triangle. I identified the error as "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".I tried the following: -Flashing the latest VBIOS from techpowerup -DDU -Installing drivers (Old and new) -Clean install of drivers (Old and new) -System restore point and then DDU -Downgrading VBIOS, rinse and repeat I'm pretty lost at this point because even after doing clean installations and flashing the BIOS, the card still persists to give me the same error. The only other option I can really think of is going with a fresh Windows install, but any time I've ever done that in a situation like this, it does absolutely nothing to fix my problem and wastes my time. I might be pulling too much power but I'd still think that at idle it would still function properly. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. My specs are: -Ryzen 3 2200G (not overclocked) -8GB DDR4 2400MHz (overclocked to 2800MHz) -EVGA 450bt 450 watt powersupply -Founders Edition GTX 780 ti -Windows 10 Pro 1809 17763.437 Thanks in advance

Previously when I booted my machine there was a DOS screen stating the GTX 960 video card was installed and this is not present with the new RTX 2080 Ti should that information be there? In a chat with nvidia.custhelp.com, they said "The issue you are facing is due to Error code 43, we are trying to isolate if this issue is due to hardware or software" so is the V-Bios is in between both? Replaced my GTX 960 for an RTX 2080 Ti and could not get the new driver to install. When the Windows OS system moved from version 1803 to version 1809, there was an update error "NVIDIA - Display - 9/25/2018 12:00:00 AM - 24.21.14.1170 -Error 0x80248007". Downloaded an earlier version of the driver version 417.35 and installed that driver and the GeForce Experience (selecting "perform clean driver installation" again), however, there is still no driver installed, and device manager confirms this. Cannot get Nvidia display options to install with or without the installation of GeForce Experience app, for example, Nvidia icon not in the toolbar or when I right mouse click on the desktop and there is no Nvidia control panel installed on my machine. Booted into SAFE MODE and ran Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), which was downloaded from [https://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,9.html] then installed the driver from the utility CD that came with the video card (driver version 411.63 or 411.70? I have lost track now). Other stuff ... Downloaded and ran the Windows update troubleshooter ... Downloaded the most recent Servicing Stack Update (SSU) ... Downloaded SSU for Windows 10 1809 from the Microsoft Update Catalog ... Downloaded the most recent KB which was kb4483452 a NET framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 update ... Open an elevated command prompt to attempt to fix Windows file corruption ... Motherboard BIOS is the most up to date for my GA-X99 SOC FORCE F23c ...Dragged the video driver files from the installation CD to a folder on the desktop so that I could point Device Manager driver updater to them ... PSU SilverStone Strider Plus SST-ST70F-PB 700W 80+ bronze certified. UPDATE: Using Acronis True Image 2019 trial (because the 2014 version, I own, after multiple tries over about a week did not want to play nice with Windows 10!) I reimaged another HDD with Windows 10 build 1803 as this was the version of Windows that was NOT buggy in October of last year, and the RTX 2080 Ti was announced in September. After installing the 419.35-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql-rp.exe Nvidia driver, it made no difference to the Error code 43, however, the GeForce Experience bundled with the driver installed when before nothing installed? Am I wrong, but does getting an Error 43 after installation of RTX 2080 Ti have anything to do with a corrupt V-BIOS as the V-BIOS is in between both hardware and software? Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, I have recently got a second hand GT 740 4GB graphics card from my friend and I cannot install the driver. I downloaded the driver from https://www.geforce.com/drivers and tried to install, I got an error code 43 in my device monitor after that and the resolution dropped to 1280*1024. I tried to install older versions of the driver but still get error every time. I am now using the driver installed automatically by Windows and it is so slow that I cannot even run a stress test smoothly, what can I do?

Hello there folks, Got this issue dragging me crazy for few days, where the graphics card would stop working or at least the driver does, GTX980 windforce. I don't really remember how it all started, all used to be working fine till one day through September I turned on the computer and the resolution was crap, tried to adjust it back but didn't work so I restarted the computer and it worked fine, the next day the same issue happened but the restart didn't solve it, device manager tell me the device isn't working properly or has an issue code 43, if I use DDU to remove the driver and get the basic display driver all will be fine after I install a fresh driver it works perfectly too, Apex legends, FFXV and BF1, all working perfectly on high settings, but the moment I restart the computer the same issue appears again, sometimes restarting solves it sometimes not and the screen goes off so I have to restart using the CMD when windows boots I get the crap res again. Tried downloading a newer update but didn't help, installing updates hoping maybe its a bug from microsoft's side and still same thing, reset the bios to default and it works fine again somehow, after another restart without doing anything it goes nuts again. I totally reinstalled windows, 1809 instead of 1903, all worked fine for a bit yet again after one restart it went nuts. Thought it might be some windows update so I went and removed all the updates except for 3 which I didn't get any option to remove. I was afraid it might be a hardware issue but everything was working fine, tested the memory with the windows built in tester on extended mode, two rounds and no issues founds, ran prime95 for an hour with my fans maxed out getting 89c but no crashes or anything, tried MSI kombustor and again no crashes, games are fine too, but a single restart or shutdown will render the computer useless. I even took the computer apart, cleaned it, checked the PCIe and ram slots, checked the CPU socket, change the thermal paste, still nothing! I just got the idea to try safe mode to download an older driver from august or something since I had no issues back then, yet again I have no clue what's going on. Gpuz shows this when the driver isn't working correctly.

I recently purchased a new EVGA 1060 SSC Gaming 6gb GPU to replace what I thought was a dead EVGA 650 2GB card that was displaying error code 43 in device manager and giving no output. Well, I installed the 1060 yesterday and was given the same error. I tried fully uninstalling all drivers and even deleting the registry keys relating to the device, and am still receiving the same error. After this trouble shooting, I am now also receiving error code 43 on my intel onboard graphics, but the output is indeed working for that one. I'm at a loss now sadly. Any suggestions?

So I've swapped out my 1050Ti (don't ask why) with an XFX RX 560 4GB and the issues never end. The card is not properly detected by Windows and drivers can't be fully installed (only partial installs).Device Manager says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and I haven't been able to get drivers installed.I've tried different drivers (18.7.1. 18.6.1. 18.5.1. and the AMD Minimal Setup) and nothing works.I have tried re-installing the drivers and I have de-installed the old drivers.I've done all the regular things so I need real help Oh,and also,my ethernet no longer works

hello, so something strange seem to have happend. i have my crappy school laptop and there whas a lot of bullshit on that thing, so i did would every sane person would do. i restored it to factory settings. HOWEVER! the driver when't corrupt. well, no big deal i tought, just reinstall it. however this doesn't seem to work. when it installs the drivers it will complete as any driver you would install only when finally restarted it would go back to its error 43. i susspect the chip is burned or something however it does show up in devmgmt.msc and in aida64 ( no i didn't stress it to death) the laptop is a medion erazer (idkwhatmodel) it has: core i5 7200HQ gtx 950M 8GB ram running win.10.home please help ;(

So, I was looking at some used graphics cards and I saw a GTX 780 for sale for like $25, but it has a Code 43. So my question is: should I get it? Is it easy to fix the problem or not. I did some googling and there seemed to be multiple ways of fixing the error. Is there a chance that the error is not fixable?

So, I recently bought a evga gtx 970 sc, installed it on my pc, booted, and boom, error 43. So I searched for every bit of information I could get, reinstalled drivers, took the graphics card out then tried with my old r7 360 and it worked. So at this point I realized the pci express isnt faulty(msi h81m e33), nor is the power supply (evga 500w). So I grabbed the card and went to a friend's house, tried it in his computer (Can't remember the mobo, but it supports 7th gen intel processors and it's quite expensive, and a 650w power supply) and it worked perfectly, player battlefield 1 with no problems for several hours. So I tried in other computers just to find the problem, and it worked perfectly in every computer that had a 6th gen or superior processor. At this point I don't even know that the problem is, and nobody is able to help me. If you want any other detail I can give you some insight on everything that I've tried so far. My specs: I5 4460 - msi h81 e33 - evga gtx 970(?) - hyperX red 2x4gb ddr3 - Evga 500w power supply

System specs: Windows 8.1 Pro x64, 4gb ram and asus gtx 560 ti Device manager: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". Screen resolution -> Display: Generic Non-PnP Monitor (used to be monitor's series number) I am currently facing this problem and I have no idea on what to do next. Max screen resolution is 1280 x 800, but when I use the DVI port on the mother board the resolution can go back to 1600 x 900 (monitor resolution). Here is a list of the things that I have done: 1. Delete and re-install drivers 2. Remove and insert graphics card 3. Install older drivers Could my PCI-E slot be the cause of the problem or is it the graphics card?
