Hello,
So I am upgrading my 970 to a 1060 6 gb in my custom build mainly for editing purposes. I've heard i can get some better performance in Premiere Pro with some more v ram and games will get bumped up slightly with the change. Keep in mind, I have never had a problem with the 970.
I went through the steps, swapped the cards installed new drivers off nvidias website, but I keep getting the 'Windows has stopped this device because it has stopped working (Code 43.)' in device manager. There is also some red digital noise on my screen as well. Scanned for driver updates in device manager and it says all drivers are up to date. This is the second new 1060 I've tried which leads me to believe its not a faulty card. One other thing i noticed is that the fans on the gpu are not spinning at full power and i was a able to stop one with my finger and it did not resume spinning. It shouldnt be a power problem due to the 1060 having a more efficient power consumption than the 970.
I have tried:
Discharging power
uninstalling and reinstalling device and drivers
Windows updates involving gpu and nvidia
Adjusting 6pin power connector to gpu
checking and reseating gpu in mobo
Many restarts after updates and installs
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
