GTX 590 issues

[Codyman125]

Ok, so I have a special problem for you today boys and girls, one that revolves around an end user that somehow screwed up his own computer so bad, I can't figure it out.

 

Specs!

 

i7 2600

generic motherboard, ASUS

TX 750M

8GB RAM (4x2GB) (Generic)

EVGA GTX 590

Now for the issue... I built this computer once, from the scraps of old PCs for a friend of a friend who couldn't afford much (his friends each offered up a part or money to get it for him). worked like a dream. easy installs, everything ran great. Now, this guy, has an issue booting it once, and decides "I'll run the W10 OS refresh utility!" Ok, whatever. BUT, he decided halfway through "Maybe this isn't a good idea" and unplugs the PC. *sigh* OK, so new OS time. I got it installed, and windows is working, but... It won't take GPU drivers. Like, the 590 is outputting signal, but won't install NVIDIA drivers. After some digging, I found in device manager that both cores are showing "Code 43" for "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems".

 

I have tried:

     booting into Safe mode and using DDU

     reinstalling the drivers

     Using geforce experience to install drivers

     NOT using geforce experience

     

 

I'm totally lost. Never encountered this before. Help?

This does not bode well.

Yeah, I'm not thinking the 590 is in great shape... That being said, it outputs a signal, and even boots to windows, so I'm not sure all hope is lost.

Unplugging a system while under load is always a terrible idea

Couldn't agree more, but this is the same idiot who broke his PC in the first place by, and I quote, "opening it up and unplugging the HDMI to USB cable inside". I advised his friends to not give him admin rights... did I mention it only lasted 4 hours before he did this?

Once you have this fixed, glue the sidepanels on after screwing them on with triangle headed screws. Also, glue the power cord in place.

try a different GPU

could be that the GPU got damaged somehow from power loss

Not my monkeys, not my circus. Once this leaves my door, if he breaks it, it's his paperweight. Although I did tell his friends to use torx screws, lol

Possibly, But my personal 980Ti is under water. I guess I could pull my old quadro 600 out, lol. I'll try that.

It'd be my paperweight, please. I have been known to fix tremendously broken things (I fucking got a graphics card me and friends froze before setting it on fire to work...)

I've had some stuff like that too. I had a water damaged phone that wouldn't turn on, and in a moment of sheer stupidity I thought "Water killed  it, maybe water will fix it". submerged the phone, it turned on, and I managed to transfer the contacts off while totally submerged. It wouldn't work when not wet, lol.

Ok, I bring thee news. the 590 works! But only when my quadro 600 is installed too? If I run JUST the 590, I get code 43, same with just quadro, but running the 590 AND the quadro makes the quadro not show up at all, but the 590 run right.. what?
