Question I have a Radeon rx 470 GPU. After a while I finally got my PC to recognize it. But now I am getting code 43. Could that be because I am trying the most updated drivers. From 2 of 24 ?? Also there is a very tiny switch near the power plug. I read that it could be a duel boot bios then I see if it's one way it's in silent mode for mining and the other for normal. But not sure witch way to put it. Could this also be why the code 43 ??

Use GPU-Z and see if any of the fields show up with 0(zero)'s. If so then your GPU's conked out.

Got a link to the card you're working with? Not all cards are designed the same.

Please mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age as well. If the GPU was bought used and was used for mining, then you should avoid dropping anymore resources behind it.

PSU is a EVGA 750 how old well it was brand new 5 yrs ago and for the GPU I don't no about mining I'll take a pic of gpuz so you can see what I do. But do you have any idea about that little switch. Like I said I got conflicting info on it. And I do have a sapphire GPU with that same switch but for that it's a duel bios I don't know if it is the same on this one

EVGA is the brand of the unit while 750 is the advertised wattage of the unit, what is the model of the unit? EGA have been known to have hit or miss units in their lineup, even for their top tier units. If the PSU is the reason for your GPU's demise, then that is a problem you might need to address before you drop in another GPU.

But do you have any idea about that little switch. Like I said I got conflicting info on it. And I do have a sapphire GPU with that same switch but for that it's a duel bios I don't know if it is the same on this one
Pass on a link to the GPU, you're being vague with just texts that don't equate to anything, at least for me.

the GPU I don't no about mining
So you bought the GPU brand new or used?
