Help: Error 43 on Nvidia GPU Can't Fix

[TomShaw]

Hello,

I was playing Hoi4 yesterday and the game was tanking and lagging all over the place, this morning I checked my device manager as after I restarted it this morning the problems hadn't disappeared.

Thereby I discovered that both my Intel and Nvidia graphics were reporting an Error code 43, so I googled how to solve this, I reinstalled the graphics drivers, this fixed my Intel integrated graphics, however even after clearing and reinstalling my Nvidia card with DDU, It still reports the error code. 

 

Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks

First backup files, then follow instructions here:

Make sure you click "keep files"

Thanks, restoring my computer is kind of my last resort. I am wondering if there is a way to tell if my GPU is having a hardware failure before I restore it.

This won't reset me to windows 8, will it?

No. It will keep your files but reinstall the OS itself. You won't be resetting everything.

Well... problem solved, I guess.
