Solved: Please see my response. Card was faulty.
I have a evga nvidia gtx 950 sc+ graphics card which is presenting the error 43 in device manager under windows 10 since I built my new computer. Previously the card was working fine in Windows 10 on my year old ITX build. I can install the latest 390.65 driver and play games like dying light without issues until (I reboot the computer) at which point windows loads basic vga drivers and the nvidia reports error 43. At which point I have to boot to safe mode, use ddu to remove the drivers fully, reboot again, install the drivers, reboot and reinstall the drivers once more before I am yet again able to play games and enjoy my new system.
I have taken the following steps in troubleshooting:
replaced motherboard (had asus rog strix b350f changed to gigabyte ga-ab350-gaming 3
Installed drivers from the motherboards cd, (chipset drivers and such)
Looked for but could not find "Lucid VIRTU MVP" or "iDisplay software"
reseated the card many times
Fresh installed windows 10
Fresh installed windows 10 (with internet unplugged) to avoid update to creators
used ddu countless times (more than 15) in safe-mode to clean out old drivers
This is a brand new build, my specs are:
gigabyte ga-ab350-gaming 3 motherboard
ryzen 7 1700x cpu
evga nvidia gtx 950 sc+ graphics card
contacsilent12 thermaltake cpu cooler
corsair cx650m 650w modular power supply
two ssd drives (120G and 250G)
one sata mechanical drive 3TB
Tomorrow I am going to place the card back into the itx from which it came, to see if the problem occurs and perhaps the card somehow got damaged though im very careful with handling computer hardware, always store in anti-static bags and discharge my body before handling by the edges.
Will post results of that test
Thought it might have been the windows 10 creators update causing the issue, but after refreshing windows 10 with the network disconnected, i avoided any updates and still had the problem. Could it be power? is 650w enough for what I have? Is it that I am using a amd cpu and a nvidia card (Ive seen others with ryzen 7 machines running nvidia 1080's, shouldent it handle a 950 ) Seems gaming is fine as long as I don't reboot my system for whatever reason, or it will error out.
Can someone please help me try to troubleshoot this problem as I am getting close to my return date deadline for the cpu, cooler and psu. Motherobard was replaced today.
