Code 43 on Laptop 1050Ti

[Purphoros]

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?
