[SOLVED] Need help with strange GPU behavior

[Noworiji]

Hello!

I've recently started encountering game crashes, no matter which one it is, and sometimes I get artifacts and black screens.
I've checked Event Viewer and found an error: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

Does underclocking the GPU solve this problem? Someone said setting Nvidia Reference clocks should do the job.
I have a GIGABYTE GTX 760 2gb Windforce 3x, it has higher clocks than the reference one.

Make sure Windows and GPU drivers are updated.
If this issue was not before then go back to previous drivers.

This doesn't work.

And GPU is pretty much done, since it got code 43 now.

Then reset your GPU properly in PCI slot and most important your 6 and 8 pin connectors should be properly connected.
- Or uninstall gpu drivers from device manager and search then again so that it reinstall fresh ones, dont let windows to update your drivers automatically. use Nvidia tool to automatically searh and download drivers.
-> Were you overclocking frequently?

Code 43 means that GPU got some hardware issues or there is some driver problem.
