Gainward GTC 660 Error 43...

[Sim0N]

Hello everyone! I'm having a small issue with a Gainward GTX 660. I bought from a person on prohardver.hu here in Hungary. The seller said that the GPU is not working, windows xp to 10's message:" Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.". The seller says that "It works under Linux" and it sure did! So I guess the GPU is not deffective And it works flawlessly! But I wanna play my games on Windows rather than Linux :')

I already did a DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), reinstalled the drivers a couple times. Even did some reflowing with a help of some flux and a hot air gun (I knew what I was doing ) and it did not fixed the problem I think it is not a hardware problem, I'm guessing it is the problem with the GPU's BIOS. I wrote on the prohardver forum in order to get some help, but sadly every tech person is offline and I realy wanna know if this thing works or not :))

So what do you guys think? Should I try to update the BIOS? If so, then where can I find proper "tutorial" about the subject?

Thank you for the replies :R

The memory is most likely fucked so the PC will just crash when you try to play games or do anything intensive on the GPU.

It doesn't crashes my PC and there is nothing wrong with the memory chips. I wrote that it worked fine under Linux OS
