Hi, this is my first post here, hopefully you guys can help me out.
I just swapped out my power supply and gpu (previously a 300w and gt 220 1gb, respectively) with a 600w power supply and an evga gtx 650. My problem here is that while it is displaying, Windows "has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" Additionally, I can not set the resolution to 1920x1080, my monitor size, and there are red specks and stripes all over my screen. My BIOS version (A11) and graphics driver are updated to my knowledge. Thanks in advance for the help.
I've copied the specs from Piriform's Speccy program:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Solution

Sounds like a defective card or compatibility issue.

It is unlikely that it is under powered as any quality unit(even a 300-350 watt in most cases) will run the card without issue, but since they are both new parts, you may have to look into that as well(defects happen).

Do you have another system or a friends system to test the card in? That should make it more easy to say that the card or system is the issue.

Unfortunately, I don't have another computer to test it in. I can return it until the last day of January if it is simply a malfunctioning card, which I hope is the case, as I don't think there would be much to do but downgrade to a lower-grade gpu if it were a compatibility issue.

Would you have any idea if the regular 650 would be compatible with an Inspiron 546 mobo?

Update: I just put in the new one and it's working fine, I'm seeing a VERY large improvement from the GT 220. The previous one was just a lemon. Thanks for your help!
