GTX680 error 43

[OnlyNilow]

Hi , this is my first post so sorry if I do anything wrong.

My GTX680 is getting error 43 in windows device management. It randomly crashed when i wasn't doing anything with it going to black screen. I restarted and video was coming from the motherboard. I was using it for about a month with no problems until this happened. Any know how to fix this?

System specs:
GPU: EVGA GTX680 Super clocked signature 2
CPU: I5-3570k
MOBO: Asrock extreme 6 z77
RAM: 2x4GB corsair 1600mhz
OS: Windows 7 premium 64bit
Thanks

It's good that Windows is telling you where the issue is.

First, if you are overclocking anything bring everything to stock or at least manufacturers OC levels (CPU,RAM,GPU). This will eliminate that being the possibility. Does everything work now?

If not or you aren't overclocking anything, do you have the latest release of the Nvidia drivers (not Beta?)? If not, update to the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.

If that doesn't work, I would suspect you have a true hardware issue with the video card. Take the video card out of the system right away to eliminate the possibility of the faulty hardware affecting your other components in some way. Good thing EVGA is the brand. You can contact them and they'll quickly get you a replacement.

Thanks for the reply. No I haven't overclocked anything, guess i'm just going to RMA it.
