Hello,
Just recently I my Nvidia 970 has given me the error code 43 in my device manager which was strange because it had been working flawlessly since I had installed it about a year ago. After a couple of days fighting with it (uninstalling, reinstalling drivers, re-seating the card, placing the card in different slots, doing a clean install of both windows 7 and 10) with no luck! After researching on the internet, I came cross a form stating that a low power supply may be the problem. So after doing some further research I found out that my 500w power supply maybe well under the recommended requirement as I was told I would need about 750w. So my question is could my power supply be the cause of my gpu acting up? If so could my card be damaged because of it? Do I need to upgrade my power supply from 500w to 750w or 800w?

System Info:
System: Windows 10 64 Bit
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 at 3.20GHz
RAM: 16 Gb
GPU: Geforce GTX 970 FTW+
Power Supply: 500W

''Hello danman111,

If you get code 43 on your windows 7, that is not a good sign of the video card [evga tech]

so maybe error 43 aint good on any gtx 900 card regardless of OS ??--- funny he also has a FTW ????

I'd contact evga support as well and maybe start the RMA process if nothing else ??

evga has had a few little issues with the FTW cards here and there ???

?? I would hook up with there support and see what they say on that but looks like it could be a lemon card ??

work with them and see how they want to handle it they will trouble shoot things and determine if you got it fixed or send it in if not

may as well get that ball rolling -- you can try whats said here at toms on it but I would also work with evga support . there easy to deal with and will help resolve ...

I guess you registered your card with them ?? if so your a member and can use there forum as well to get there fan boys on this as well

sad thing is maybe a win-10 strikes again ? makes me so glad I did not fall for it

Darn well wish me luck, also what about my power supply? Would I need to upgrade it or is the current one I have now suitable? EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W Continuous Power 100-W1-0500-KR

well maybe, but a lot guys with low power supply and not reporting any error 43 . that's the thing ..... 2 things I see its a win-10 issue in some way funky or something in the card failed [maybe failed due to not enough psu ? ] but ?????.....

this is why I say contact evga cause they have a better handle on all that with there cards and can help give you a more direct answered

I guess 550w is fine for like office use ??

Requirements
•500 Watt or greater power supply.****

****Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz processor


also be sure you have the latest bios for that older board and these newer 900 cards as well may not be fully supported on a old bios ?
