Gtx 1080 Error Code 43

[Canemaster]

Hello, I am currently building a PC for a friend and I seem to have hit a brick wall. The graphics card is having issues. More specifically it's having driver issues. In the device manager I am getting an error code 43 and that windows has stopped the device. Ive tried restarting, reinstalling drivers, ect and no luck. Hoping someone knows about this issue here and can help. If you need more information on the machine, don't be afraid to ask. I'm just pressed for time at the moment and can't supply a list. Thanks!

It would be pci-ex16/x8_1(ie the top one). I can try moving it when I get back from work

Ok, I moved the card to the second bus, but it didn't change anything. I'm still receiving the same error. I'll add a photo cuz why not

Ok, I fixed it. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to use the special 2 to 1 cable adapter they included in the video cards packaging. I was going to use it to keep things a bit cleaner for cable managing, but it seems I needed to use both cables from the PSU. Ah well. It would have helped if they had gone over that in the manual, but there's hardly anything in it and nothing covering this. Thanks for the help anyway!

Would you mind posting a pic of the wires you used? I've been getting the same problem for 4 months and just found this. I have a 1080 and an EVGI PSU, idk what wires to use to solve this problem.
