Hello!
I just bought a used nVidia GTX 560ti for a second build. I don't have much experience with nVidia, but after installing the drivers the GPU is shown with a yellow triangle and and (!) in the device manager. It shows it with a message with error code 43. I did clean wipe of all drivers and even reinstalled Windows. Went down from Win10 to Win7, but the issue remains. I tried with a way older GPU - a GTX 6200, but it worked without an issue, disregarding it being way slower. Could the 560ti be faulty? I still haven't tried running it in my main build.

An 850W PSU Bronze standard, to be quite honest I've had some issues with it, but we tested it in another build with a 460 after having it fixed and it worked fine. I can't name the exact model because a friend of mine gifted it to me and I'm posting from outside of home right now. The processor is a Phenom II x4 945. The motherboard is an old Asus, which he had to update to the last BIOS version in order to make it recognize the Phenom.

It shows the same error in my other build, which has no trouble working with R9 390. The entire error message is:
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
Would this mean that the GPU itself is faulty? I have installed the drivers from GeForce Experience so I doubt I've downloaded the wrong driver.
