Windows 10: Graphics card is not recognized, what to do?

Hello,

A few days ago I noticed that I got an update for my graphics card, then I went to the Nvidia app for my PC and did this update there. Later I noticed that my graphics card is not recognized anymore, in the device manager it says that the device was stopped because it reported an error and underneath it is code 43, I have seen videos about it on YouTube but none of them helped me, I reinstalled the device, I tried to update it, I tried to install the old driver but it didn't work because under the properties it says that I didn't have a previous driver.

My question now is, what can I do?

My graphics card:Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
