[SOLVED] GTX 560TI Driver (error 043) PROBLEM FIXED!

Hello all,

 

I recently dug up an pair of GTX 560TIs (Twin Frzor edition!).

Popped them into a spare LGA 1155 Motherboard, 8GB (4x2), 80GB Intel SSD, 620W Season PSU, i5 3470.

 

Fresh copy of W10 installed (latest 1809 on my flash drive).

Everything is fine until I finish installing the graphics driver; it seems to complete without issue. However, the device manager does not recognize the device as being installed. Furthermore, when checking in HWMonitor, I can't see the GPU's temps... I've tried this with BOTH cards; producing the same results (each with their own fresh install of Windows, followed by the latest Nvidia driver). I can't run any games or graphics applications either...

 

I have successfully installed and benched my RX570 and an RX470 on the same setup without any changes (except the GPU of course) I had no issues there. Please check screenshots and advise... I'm clueless how to proceed.

Does Properties for the card show a code 43?

That's correct... how did you know?

I've had a few cards do this exact same thing, they ended up having damage to the GPU Core some how. You can try the cards in a different system to see if the problem persists otherwise maybe a Custom BIOS "may" help.

This makes zero sense... they were taken out of separate systems and left on my parts shelf for 2 years (in a humidity and temp controlled environment). For both cards to fail the same way (from different systems) has to be extremely unlikely?

It's possible but not common in the slightest.

I've finally had some time to investigate this further last night...

 

I started trying older drivers and... eventually, I got the driver to stick (forgot which version) but the card was only running at 50mhz in unreal valley benchmark, MSI afterburner confirmed this.

 

that's when I found this thread

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1011340/geforce-500-400-series/560-gtx-cores-stuck-at-extremely-low-levels/2/

 

and eventually found driver version 375.95 to be working...   I got both cards working; stress tested in unreal valley benchmark for over 3 hours; no issues. Temps look and FPS looks to be in line with other benchmarks I found.

 

I suspect people reporting getting this resolved are using old drivers; but W10 automatic updates will result in error 043... what a sham lol

 

TLDR; Nvidia started combining a bunch of drivers for older cards; using their "newest" bundled driver WILL result in 043 I have confirmed this multiple times for both cards with fresh driver installs. Tested both 560TI on a another LGA 1155 board on ver 375.95; both 100% working. As a safeguard, I've disabled WIndows 10 automatic driver installation for Nvidia drivers; not ideal but it is what it is...
