Hello,
I got a gpu from my friend who tought it was dead. It was showing the error 43. I pluged it in played about an hour with drivers and suddenly got it to work. Then I left it off for couple of hours. When I got back all was ok. So I moved it to my room and it didnt go on. The display went on only from mobo hdmi using the integrated graphics. So I tried all the uninstalling agin and again and after few hours I got it to work. Played few games and all was okay. So I normally turned the pc off and went to sleep. At morning the gpu wasnt working and its not working till now. Tried everything again. But windows still showing error 43. Do you have any tips? Or is the gpu really dead? I would be okay with that but I got it to work so that seems wierd to me. Thanks for any reply.

could be the PSU not giving power through the 8pin connector

I have a 450w seasonic which has only 6pin pcie connector. Iam using a 6pin to 8pin reduction. Can that be the problem?

It is a problem. Use a 2 molex to 6 pin adapter and 2 6pin to 1 8pin adapter (2 adapters in total)

Yea I would upgrade your PSU that your problem you are on the edge of it max power.

I already have a 2molex to 6pin from previous build so can use that along with the 6pin to run through 26pin into 8pin?

So it should be okay with the 2x 6in to 8pin? But why it run two times okay like this? And the fan is spinning all the time even when the code 43 shows.

And can you please give me tip where I can buy it? Because it seems that its ot sold in my country. I only find single 6pin to 8pin or even 6pin to two 8pins :O. Thanks for help.

To be honest, sounds to me like there could be bad caps on the card. A bad cap can cause intermittent issues, where the device sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Like I said, it still sounds like bad caps: you playing around with drivers didn't do anything, it was just a coincidence that the card managed to successfully initialize at one or another point.

Okay so I can throw it away?

Don't throw it away, try to take it to a computer store so that they can check if there's something wrong with it

So I managed to open the card and the capacitors look okay from outside? Can it still be them cause of any internal damage? Or it is something different?

You can't always see if a capacitor is damaged or not, especially when it comes to ceramic SMD-caps.

So I can test them. And is there posibility of sucesfully exchanging these capacitors?

Be sure to use the MFr utils software.. for overclocking etc.. If you say use ASUS GPU Tweak on an MSI card or vice versa.

Maybe your friend did that...

You could set the wrong data in power and clock chips!! Since they may not use the same chips!!

That could manifest the symptoms you describe!! An unstable combination of Clock and Voltage settings!!

 

If the Caps were faulty you would probably get the same result all the time!!

 

You could measure the Voltage on PCIe connector  +12 V should be > 11.5 Volts preferably > 11.9 Volts  Yellow is +12 V and black is Ground

So I should get the Zotac (the card is zotac) utility and reset it to default?
