NVidia Graphics Card Error 43?
I am using the NVidia GeForce GT745M card, and I am receiving the following error code in Device Manager:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
Looking at the details of the device, I see a Problem Code of 0000002B and the following output for Status:
01802400
DN_HAS_PROBLEM
DN_DISABLEABLE
DN_NT_ENUMERATOR
DN_NT_DRIVER
I am unsure of how to fix this and how to proceed.
I am currently running driver version 9.18.13.4990 (NVidia Driver 349.90) on Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10041.
Disabling and enabling the device will clear the error flag, but nothing detects the device.
I finally managed to find a solution that worked for me (at least for now):
- Download Display Driver Uninstaller and the latest NVIDIA Drivers for my card. The OEM drivers will not work!!
- Reboot into Safe Mode and uninstall the PhysX Engine and the GeForce Experience.
- Reflash BIOS to known working version. (Thank you NVIDIA Forums!)
- Boot into regular mode and install the NVIDIA drivers and all the related software.
Apparently ASUS laptops have an issue where BIOS updates and Windows 10 can sometimes cause Code 43s to appear.
In my specific case, I even had to go back to BIOS version 214 for the Asus Q550LF. The flash utility would not accept an older BIOS, so I had to force it with winflash /nodate bios.214 (src).
