error code 12 not enough free resources with nvidia graphics card

[firedragon76]

when i put my nvidia graphics card into my system it shows error code 12 in the device manager "not enough free resources". 

 

Motherboard : Intel DQ45CB

board version : AAE30148-206

Motherboard Chipset : Intel Q45 (Eaglelake-Q) + ICH10DO

Bios version : CBQ4510H.86A.0133.2011.0810.1010

OS : Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit)

CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4700 @ 2.60GHz

GPU : NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT (1 GB)

RAM : 8 GB (DDR2 400.0 MHz - (PC2-6400))

PSU : 400 watts

 

i've a usb mouse and usb keyboard connected to the system, a speaker and microphone, ethernet cable.

 

I already uninstalled Nvidia graphics with DDU and tried installing Nvidia drivers from their website but still get the same error code.

 

i changed gpu in bios from integrated to pci and to pcie but still the same error. even with no graphics driver i get the same error code 12 on the Microsoft basic display driver. i updated bios and chipset but to no avail.

 

i would really appreciate if anyone could help me resolve the issue.

 

thank you.

uninstall the driver 100% then reinstall the latest from Nvidia's website that is available for your card.

Try installing the driver's with GeForce experience, it can see your system better then you can, maybe you are trying the wrong drivers.

Here is code 12 from Microsofts offical forum. Maybe even doing a "fresh start" from the windows settings may help you out. Or if you have access and ability to do a clean windows reinstall.

Tried installing the driver with GeForce experience, it's the same driver version. no effect, still error code 12. tried troubleshooting but that does not resolve the issue. if you guys need any info to properly troubleshoot the issue i'll be more than happy to provide it. thank you again for your time and efforts, i really appreciate it.

Same problem with rx480

i fixed my issue. since i was already on the latest bios, i downgraded to a previous version of bios and the graphics card worked flawlessly. i still am on the latest chipset and drivers, only thing i did was downgrade to a previous verion of bios. i used Intel Integrator Assistant (iassist.exe) for the BIOS. it took some time to do so and i thought that my system has hanged but i still waited and the system finally booted. i also cleared my bios after the downgrade.
