Well as far as i know its a driver related problem so i guess you need to uninstall your drivers and start from scratch. Its to do with error mesages a lot of cards wheather its graphics /sound etc have a custom error message which would tell you what the problem is. In your drivers this custom "reason" Its acctually called a Fail reason string is missing so you get the windows default message.
Try using the disc drivers if you have a disc.

I have already tried installing the drivers it came with. Then i have uninstalled them and tried multiple other drivers none of them seem to work i just get the same error every time.
