Help! Nvidia GTX780 with Error Code 43

[JDG14]

Hi,

Need some help regarding the error I encountered on my GTX780.
“Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)”

I’ve already tried the following:
-Updating the Drivers.
-Run DDU (Clean then Restart) then Install Drivers.
-Run DDU (Clean the Shut Down) then install drivers.
-Install previous Version (399.24)

All of this methods results in error 43. Which is very annoying.

I don’t know what else to do. That’s why I will post on this forum, hoping that someone can help me here.

Also, I haven’t tried removing the hardware itself from the PC and No, I don’t have a spare system with me to test the GPU on the other one.

Here is the list of the system.
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
Ram: 4gb G skill Ripjaws
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 256GB
GPU: Zotac GTX 780 Reference
PSU: Corsair TX650M

Hoping that this is a driver bug/issue and not the hardware itself.

Note: This error happens after I reformat my PC due to new SSD. Which I really regret doing because of this Incident ☹️

Thanks in advance for those who can give some advice.

What Windows version are you using?

Apologies. It’s a windows 10 pro. I forgot to include it my bad.

This may or may not help, but I would try resetting the BIOS (google it if you don't know how) to rule out hardware confusion there.

Run MSI afterburner. Downclock the GPU core by 100mhz, hit apply and try again.

Tried it and also updating the BIOS, I notice some blue artifacts on the display when It's color black. So I've decided to execute DDU again on Safe Mode. Then I tried installing the latest drivers again but no luck this Time, for I encountered another BSOD Error - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. This is another new error and it wont let me install the driver.
