I broke my Laptop's GPU?

[Hestonfireflame]

I was trying to play games with my friends and the frames were horribly. I was confused as to what was happening, and opened device manager and saw that there was a code 43 error on my GPU. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" I have tried everything to fix it, even factory resetting my computer. any ideas?

What is the GPU? Is the most current driver installed?

I have a Nvidia geforce GT 745m, I cant install the newest driver or downgrade because it doesnt detect that the GPU

Did you have any windows updates before this happened?

But you can see it in device manager? Try to uninstall the device (GPU) thru device manager.

I have done that many times, didnt work, I think it may be a problem with the physical GPU

try installing the original drivers that came with the laptop ( you should have a driver disk that came with it )

If it is detected, there's still a chance that maybe it's a software issue. I'm going to assume that you can't send it back for repairs thru the standard warranty. Have you tried display driver uninstaller program?

I would download the drivers, then uninstall device and if it prompts removed driver software. Then try reinstalled with new driver

IDK if I can post links here, but here you go.

BTW, I am not sure if you should pick clean AND restart as windows usually installs default drivers on startup.

Hm, then maybe it *is* a hardware problem. Try what @Coaxialgamer is recommending.

 

Hope you find a solution soon!
