Error code 43 on one of two different Nvidia cards

ryuujinusa · Oct 4, 2017

Hi everyone,

PC info: windows 10 education
GPUs: msi 1070 and zotac 760 (error code 43)
mobo: an old asus p8z68-v

I have an MSI 1070, that works like a champ but I wanted to throw my 760 back in for another monitor and movies etc and just to see if I can get it running. I got some extra pci power cables and plugged it in into my 2nd PCI-E slot and booted up. Computer turned on fine, but I noticed in the device manager that my 760 had the dreaded error code 43.

After looking around, I wiped all drivers and uninstalled experience etc. Restarted my PC and then installed experience again and let it do it's thing.
No fix. Still had the error code.

After some further research, I decided to delete everything again and install the specific driver Nvidias site recommended for the 760 first.
Same issue, error code 43 and the 1070 was fine.

After about a day of looking around I can't find anyone with this particular issue (two different nvidia cards, on windows 10, one of which has error code 43).

If anyone knows anything or could help I would be tremendously happy.

Thank you so much,
Ryu

Edit: So I booted into safe mode and they both work. No errors. Not sure exactly what this means or how I can fix it, but yeah.

Test the card on it's own, without the 1070, does it work then? What is the power supply brand and model? Did you try it in different PCIe slots? Can also test it on another computer make sure the card is good.

You shouldn't have any reason to use a second card for a second monitor.

I run 3 monitors on my 980Ti. I can play games in windowed mode and still stream a movie on one of the other monitors without any issues. Your 1070 isn't much different than my 980Ti in terms of performance power.

I guess I just don't understand the reason behind wanting to use two GPUs for two monitors. Streaming a movie really doesn't require much of a high-end GPU's processing power, so running a movie on one screen and gaming on the other shouldn't impact your performance on any noticeable level.

You're right, I don't need it, not with a 1070, but reasons aside, I still can't see why it won't work.

The card works.
I just actually tried to plug it into my other PCI-E slot (on the very bottom in the pic I linked below), however my case and mobo are so old I had to rip some slot off the back only find that my power button connection (i'm not sure what those are called exactly) which is actually kind of blocked by the cable is in the way of the back end of my 760. So I can't plug it in and use my power button.

I'm not sure of any other way to turn the PC on, I'm sure there's a way but it'd probably be a pain in the arse. I looked around on the mobo and couldn't find any places.
Anywho, I couldn't try the other slot with the 1070 plugged in as well and the 1070 is even bigger than my 760 so no way in hell that would squeeze in down below.
But like I said, they both work without issue in safe mode. But, it's safe mode.

ryuujinusa :

Adding a second card is also telling your system to dedicate more power to run everything. If you don't have a powerful enough PSU, that could part of the problem.

Doing things that don't make sense (mixing/matching different GPUs from different generations) tend to only make headaches. The 760 isn't needed and clearly isn't a simple, plug and play solution you were looking for. Some things just won't work.

Safe Mode - it doesn't load up Nvidia or AMD drivers for GPUs. Windows simply loads up necessary system files to allow Windows to function at its most basic level. Without the Nvidia drivers loading up and causing some kind of conflict with the 760, Safe Mode will easily show you any devices it detects through the Device Manager and that's it. Error 43 (whatever is the underlying cause) comes into play when the system loads up normal and the Nvidia drivers are loaded. For some reason Windows hates the fact you have the 1070 and 760 and is having problems with utilizing the 760 as a second card. You may never solve the issue or trying to will just require more time and energy then it's worth, but that's up to if you wish to further pursue this.

Have you tried your powersettings? changing everything to Maximum power? uhm

Remove you card first! The one with code 43

Try opening Power Options > Click Plan Settings > Click Change Advance Power Settings

then navigate to PCI Express it would have a + button, click that and there would be Link State management, Turn it OFF.

Shutdown your PC and Insert your card.

Boot your PC and install necessary drivers.

Tell me if this works
