This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12) A Code 12 error occurs when two or more devices are trying to use the same Input/Output (I/O) port, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel. To identify the conflict, follow these steps:
  1. In the Device Manager, open the View menu and select the Resources By Connection option.
  2. Open the Direct Memory Access (DMA), Input/Output (I/O), and Interrupt Request (IRQ) listings and look for the device that produced the Code 12 error. You should see one or more additional devices in the same listing with the same DMA, I/O, or IRQ number.
  3. Double-click the name of one of the conflicting devices to open a Properties window, and choose the Resources tab.
  4. If its not grayed out, remove the checkmark from the Use Automatic Settings option and click the Change Setting . . . button.
  5. Change the value to a new setting that does not conflict with any other device.
  6. If its not possible to change the resource value, open the General tab and disable the conflicting device.

Try reinstalling the windows and make sure u use windows 10 , since its a new gpu , and as same u did, once again reinstall the graphics driver and compatible driver, if not been then, Open ur pc case and reput/ reinsert the card by taking it once out and try now
 
If the problem persist, it must mean something is using the resource your RTX wanted to use, thus the warning message; check Device Manager to see if you can find any. Did your PC works fine without the card, using IG alone? Check the Resource tab in your card properties.

Reinstall entire Windows wont help, it's likely 50-50 the problem will persist. So you need to find out which device in your PC is in direct conflict with your card. Did you assembled the PC yourself? If so, you can try take everything out of your mobo and place them again, make sure your RTX card was placed in its correct slot.

I was checking info on your CPU and MB, they are quite old, the way i see it, your card was too modern, too new, while your CPU/MB was way old, my recommendation is if you don't play really graphic-demanding games you shouldn't invest into that card, instead spend more for new CPU/MB/RAM and a GTX 1060 6G will be sufficient for years to come until games evolved enough that the GTX 1060 6G can't handle it anymore, mostly years to reach that. In that time, you can save up, and when you feel it was the time, you can build a new build with components that fit your choices and purposes with the money you saved up, more or less you would get a quite recent build compare to the latest released components at that time, and i assure you, the money you saved up for that build will worth it.

Your CPU was at least 4 years old, Ivy Bridge platform, while your mobo MSI Z68A-G43 - i can find threads and search results dated back to 2010/2011, so it was probably older than that, your PSU too, released back in 2012.

So, my opinion, upgrade your CPU/RAM/MB/PSU will be more economic instead, and go with a GTX 1060 6G is enough for most of currently released game tittles. Thus, your system will be faster and ready for years to come when more games came out. And if your monitor didn't support functions/features the RTX 2070 has to offer, it would be a waste of your money, also the CPU/MB will limit the card capabilities further, yep the bottleneck. After all, the RTX 2070 and above are designated hi-end cards, means for top and really powerful systems. This is an unbalanced investment from my perspective.

I have been using the I5 3450S/ Gigabyte H61M-DS2/8GB DDR3/ AMD R9 390 8GB/PSU 600W setup for a long time, and still kicking, just replaced the old PSU recently, and my card burned out the other day too, so i was given a new one from the shop i bought it as replacement, PCS+ R9 390 8GB. I do have plan to replace the main components in near feature though, top priority are CPU/RAM/MB, others are optional if i have spare money. 😛 I see no need for upgrade to newer VGA card since i dont play games that much and i do like the R9 390 a lot, despite its problems, and i probably will get a new monitor too.

P/S: you can try cleaning your pc too, if the last time you clean it was so long you can't remember lol. I prefer to keep my build clean though, less problems i get. 😀

  1. Double-click the name of one of the conflicting devices to open a Properties window, and choose the Resources tab.
by conflicting devices does he mean my gpu? if so, going to resources doesnt help it just shows me the error 12 cant find enough resources....

  1. If its not possible to change the resource value, open the General tab and disable the conflicting device.
i can disable it, but then it obviously wont work.

the pc works fine without the card, have been using integrated graphics for the last year since my previous gpu died.
in the resource tab it just tells me "this device can not find enough resources it can use. you have to deactivate one of the other devices in the system if you want to use this device."

The conflicting device means the one currently in direct conflict with your card, which should have all the resources it required to function normally. Did you set something in BIOS prior to install the card? Do you have any other card installed beside the RTX?
If you did change something in BIOS, you may want to restore default setting in your BIOS and try again, also, take your card out and plug it in another pc to see if the the same problem happen to that computer too.
