Hello all,
I recently bought a new PC case and took the opportunity to clean all the components before installing them, replacing the CMOS battery and updating from Win7 to Win10.
Specs:
The components are relatively old but worked well before. After installing everything in the new case I now have the problem that the graphics card doesn't work anymore. In the device manager it indicates "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and the resolution is capped at 1024x768 on my 2K monitor (connected to the graphics card with HDMI cable).
I then tried to update the graphics driver, which took several attempts due to black screens lasting several minutes during the installation of the NVIDIA driver. I then reinstalled Win10, cleaned all the connectors and plugged the graphics card into another PCIe slot, which didn't help either,
The graphics card itself looks good, i.e. the connectors are intact, the fans are spinning and the LED lighting is working too. I'm now afraid that it's a hardware problem after all - not the best time to replace the graphics card. Unfortunately I don't have a way to test the graphics card in another PC, so I'm really thankful for any advice or hint that might help.
