Windows 10: Error Code 43 for NVIDIA Display Adapter

Recently, my display adapter is starting to glitch out. The screen sometimes freezes, flicker every few seconds or have random pixels appearing and disappearing. I checked Device Manager and it showed me that my GPU broke. I tried using DDU, didnt work. I tried updating it through windows, didnt work. I tried updating my driver to the latest one, that it supports, didnt work. I tried updating it to the same driver, didnt work. I tried resetting my pc, didnt work. Any other ways i can try to fix this?

External Display Not detected (Error code 43)

Hi,

My laptop is not detecting any external monitors attached to my HDMI port. In Device manager I see the display adapter has a warning triangle on it, and in the properties I see the error message:

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

I've tried reinstalling drivers (including to a previous version) but the problem still persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

OS = Win 10 64bit

Graphics card = NVIDIA GeForceGTX1060

Nvidia driver = 451.48

Thanks for your help!

 

Windows 10 / Nvidia 1030 - Code 43

After a Windows (Win 10 Home) update yesterday afternoon my son's PC reported the problem shown in the image below.




The result of this means he cannot play the very popular "Fortnite" game which reports this error.





Assuming the problem is caused by either the Windows Update or a driver update have done the following;

• Re-installed the latest Nvidia Driver. This didn't fix the problem.
• Installed the previous set of Nvida Drivers. This didn't fix the problem.
• Via the Control Panel / Device Manager I disabled and enabled the device. This didn't fix the problem.
• Via the Control Panel / Device Manager I used the "update driver" feature. This didn't fix the problem.
• I did a system restore to the day before. This did not complete with Windows reporting the Anti Virus software may have prevented the process. Default Windows Defender is the AV.
• I disabled the AV and tried system restore again. This didn't fix the problem.

In all other areas the system is functioning fine although my son said he had low FPS on Rainbow Six Siege which he tried to play when Fortnite wouldn't launch.

The PC is just over a week old so I am doubtful of any hardware issues with no other symptoms or errors showing.

So...any ideas or suggestions for next steps please?
