New Build- Error Code 43, Nvidia GTX 1060

Hello Everyone,
I have cobbled together a first time build. First boot worked with the integrated graphics. Now that I am trying to get the video card up and running I'm getting error code 43 in the device manager. Here are the relevant specs:

MOBO: ASUS- B360M-A
GPU- EVGA Nvidia 1060 gtx
Processor- Intel i5-8400
RAM- Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
Rosewell- 650 W Power supply, bronze rated (recovered from another computer)
OS: Windows 10 64bit

So far I've:
1. Updated the bios
2. Updated windows 10
3. Updated the GPU Drivers using Nvidia's tool.
4. Done a fresh install of both the onboard graphics and the GPU Driver's using the DDU utility
5. Checked all of the power cables, and that the card is seated properly.

I'm convinced I must either have a bad connection on my MOBO, a bad video card, or the power supply just can't keep up (I think the wattage is sufficient, but the power supply is probably about 4 years old at this point).

What's really peculiar is although I am getting the code 43 failure, I am getting output from the HDMI port to my monitor. I was surprised to see it like this...

Thank you in advance for any help.. I was getting really geeked up to start gaming and then this :(

This is usually a driver OR hardware issue. I would start by uninstalling your graphics driver and then going directly to Nvidia's website and downloading and installing the driver from there rather than using Geforce Experience. If you are still having problems after that try clearing your CMOS. Try those steps and see if you have any luck

I'll give that a go once I'm able to get back to the machine. Fingers crossed!
