    Ollama allows you to run large language models locally on your computer. However, we, along with other users, have started noticing a weird trend when running any model on Ollama: Either the system crashes or Ollama crashes on Windows. Another pattern that we noticed is that this issue is happening only on NVIDIA GPUs. In […]

  3. Windows 10 Nvidia Quadro M1000M GPU not working after installing external GPU NVidia GeForce RTX 3060

    I have a Lenovo P50 laptop with an internal Quadro m1000m GPU. I installed recently an external NVidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU (thunderbolt attached), and the internal Quadro m1000m GPU gets a Code 31 in device manager.

    The NVidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU driver does not list Quadro m1000m as supported.

    Is it possible to have multiple GPUs with different NVidia drivers on Windows 10?

    Persistent NVIDIA GPU Issue with Code 43 on Windows 11

    Despite the GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q Design) being recognized in the BIOS and listed in Device Manager, it does not appear in Task Manager. As a result, my system defaults to using the integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics.
    In Device Manager, next to the driver, a Code 43 error is reported with the message 'The device has reported a problem and has been stopped.' Additionally, the NVIDIA Control Panel does not launch.

    Here's a brief summary of the steps I've already attempted, unfortunately without success:

    1. Complete uninstallation of NVIDIA drivers in Safe Mode
    2. Updating drivers directly from NVIDIA's website
    3. Installing drivers through NVIDIA GeForce Experience
    4. Reinstalling the NVIDIA Control Panel
    5. Restarting NVIDIA Display Container LS from Services

    Here are the specifications of my laptop:

    • MSI Prestige 15 A10SC
    • Intel Core i7-10710U
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design
    • 16 GB RAM
    • 512 GB SSD

    I've noticed that my issue mirrors one discussed in a previous thread: Redirecting

    I believe this is not a hardware problem.
