Toshiba NVIDIA GT740M- "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)" - I've tried everything...

So I upgraded to Windows 10 a week ago, and when I started playing Rocket League yesterday I noticed that the graphics and audio turned horrible and stuttering after a few minutes, which I then realized was because the game was running through my integrated graphics card.


Over the last 2 days I have been almost non-stop trying different attempts to get the NVIDIA card to work. Before, it was saying 'device disconnected from computer' or something like that (code 45), but now it's code 43 like I mentioned in the title.


I have tried loads of things like updating the BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, updating to the latest drivers, taking apart the laptop to see if the card is loose.... all to no avail.
Any ideas on how to sort this, because I'm at my wits end.


Thanks!


Edit: I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C-50A

if you look around you will see win-10 has a issue with this code so it may not be as bad as it looks . just got to look in to that with 10 and try any resolves on it
