faulty graphics card?

[LoLlYdE]

Hey guys,

I am getting a little bit frustrated over here with my new graphics card. It's a GTX 780 GHZ from Gigabye, and the first week (!) it ran fine, then I got the error 43 in the device manager (the device was stopped because it gave an error or something like that). After simple rebooting it ran fine again, and now, a few days later, I get the same errorcode again. What I tried so far: rebooting (several times), deactivating and reactivating the card via the device manager, reinstalling the driver, using gigabytes driver, using reference driver, re-install the card physically in both the same and a different pcie slot, nothing helped. I did not overclock that card at all, the only thing I did was gaming (what should actually be a perfectly fine thing to do on a graphics card)

 

my specs are:

i7 4790k @ stock

gigabyte gtx 780 windforce 3x ghz edition

8gb ram

gigabyte ga-z97x-ud3h-bk rev 1.0

 

thanks,

LoLlYdE

 

EDIT: added revision to motherboard
