Nvidia geforce error 43

Hi all.

Sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section.

I have tried to resolve this error code but have had no joy.
I have tried:
To uninstall and re install the drivers
Install an older version of the driver.
Computer specs are:
Intel Core i5-7600K 3.80GHz
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB ram
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 6144MB
Intel 600P 256GB M.2-2280 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe 3D NAND Solid State Drive
Asus Prime Z270-K Intel Z270

Any help would be appreciated.

i would try reseating the GPU and if no joy do a fresh install of windows 10, if still at fault its a faulty GPU.

Where are you seeing this error code?

Is the GPU artifacting / crashing etc?

It comes up device managment.
The motherboard card takes over

Is this a new graphics card (for you)? Or did this error suddenly appear?

I'd check the power cable is secure and the card is firmly seated, consider cleaning drivers with DDU, you could also try updating the driver manually using device manager.

If the card is used and new to you, was the VBIOS flashed for mining?

i'd download gpu-z and check the card is a gtx 1060, lookup you model and check via gpu-z that the specs are the same, if any numbers are wrong then you may have a flashed card that has been used to mine on, likley the prevoius owner didnt flash back, something simliar to this happedn on here a while ago, turned out the card they had had been flashed and used to mine on, not too sure if they ever got it running again though.

and to check just to be sure your plugging in the display cable to the descrete gpu and not the motherboard, if your using onboard graphics via the cpu the dedicated gpu (1060) will not work properly
