Graphic card drivers disappearing after restart.

dempan__on · Feb 10, 2017

Hello, I got a odd problem with my old GTX 770 windforce 2gb graphic card.

The card works "normally" it doesnt show any artifacts, or gives blackscreen and no bluescreen.

The thing is, when I install the graphic drivers for the card, and the computer reboots, the drivers are gone. And in the device manager, it shows error code 43, I've tried googleit and so on for months now and I cant find a soloution. I've tried diffrent mobos. it's a bit odd I find it. Any ideas?

It could well be a conflict between different versions of the drivers. Use DDU (see this tutorial on how to: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-tutorial/) to completely remove any old drivers, then reínstall new drivers. If the problem persists, please come back.

Already done that, and still the same problem.. :/

What do you mean the driver is gone?

LucaFire :

It's gone, like someone just uninstall the thing. I can't game on it cuz of no drivers.

Like I said, I can install the drivers without problems, but then after the reboot, it's just disappeared.
It's really odd. And I've tried alot of things, nothing seems to work. Maybe broken graphic bios? Can I reflash it?

Code 43, although also indicating driver problems, does indicate that there could be larger hardware problems.
This is just information.

One of the problems could be the BIOS on the board. Have you tried flashing to a new BIOS for your motherboard (I realized you said that you've tried multiple boards, but just in case)?
Is Windows on your computer completely up to date?

If that doesn't work, try re-seating the GPU.

I've tried 3 different computers. So it must be something weird with the graphic card. I think it's a harware problem with it, but I'm not sure. I really hope it's something easy fixed. Like a bios flash on the graphic card, or just bake it in the oven

LucaFire :

already done that part. :/

And just for the record, I can mess with it cuz it's on my third computer so if it gets broken I don't really mind since it dosent work as it is now anyways. But I really do want it to work tho

What about the two questions I mentioned just a couple forum posts up?

dempan__on · Feb 10, 2017

LucaFire :

Yes, I tried that once on a motherboard, updating the bios.

LucaFire · Feb 10, 2017

Is Windows all up to date?

dempan__on · Feb 10, 2017

LucaFire :

Yes, latest windows 7 updates, and latest windows 10 updates have been tried.

I will just let you guys know that I fixed the problem now! I got an idea of flashing the graphic card bios and see if thats gonna work. And infact it did. So now my gtx 770 works. Ty for all your replies!

LucaFire :

Thank you!
When you're out of options, you try whatever! And it seemed to work with the biosflash for the graphic card! Just a reminder, I was able to find a bios for MY card. That's important I think. So, google your model of the card and flash the bios. I just did it with somekind of adrag N drop solution ez pz!
