Windows 10: pcie slots being code 43'd by dev manager

ISSUE/WHAT'S HAPPENING:


Device manager has been giving a lot of code 43's lately so when I went to install a driver called "video controller VGA compatible," The screen went black while still running and ultimately soft locked the computer. Whenever the PC gets turned back on, it boots all the way into the windows logo for about 3 seconds until it freezes. The pc then reboots and starts the process over.


WHAT ULTIMATELY NEEDS TO BE FIXED:

My PC to boot properly and my GPU to run properly


HOW IT STARTED:
a few days ago I would get artifacts along with a freeze. A quick reboot would fix this. After 4-5 times of doing this, at the time I thought it was just a dying PSU and would play until I needed a new one, my graphics card got code 43'd by dev manager. After a few times of tinkering with updating the drivers, my pc had enough and started doing what's listed above. This potentially could've started a week ago. I was in a discord call with my friend when suddenly I lost connection. My WiFi card in the pcie slot got disable by dev manager and what do you know, you can't search the internet for drivers without internet. It wasn't all bad as I got ethernet now.


WHAT HASNT WORKED:

windows does not boot far enough before freezing in order to reach winRE.

Using external media to download windows. My SSD is the incompatible MBR format

Setting the boot phase to always boot into safe mode.

Using the onboard graphics from the motherboard. onboard but plugged into the GPU is fine


WHAT I CAN DO:

sucessfully boot my PC using my old hard drive 6 mo old but still have the device manager issues

clone my old hard drive onto my SSD

load into my mobo's UEFI


WHAT I HAVEN'T TRIED:

messing with all the drivers in safe mode


PROBABLE CAUSES:

most likely hardware

malfunctioning pcie slots on my mobo

a dying pgu

a dying psu

some software thing


WHAT IT CANT BE:

A virus or PUP

outdated windows version

outdated graphics driver


WHAT IM DOING NOW:

absolutely nothing. every time I touch it and make it go forward, it seems to take 2 steps in the opposite direction D:


SPECS: if it matters

ASrock B450M-HDV R4.0 mobo

ryzen 5 3600 6-core

GTX 780 ti

16gb 2133mhz potenza

Alienware R4 M290x Code 43 HELP

Advice from Microsoft: Graphics device driver error code 43

 

USB SuperSpeed error code 43

Win 10 ver 1709.

Device Manager always reports the SuperSpeed has a problem.

I have tried uninstalling, updating drivers and a Win 10 online reinstall (repair upgrade?). No change. I installed Win 7 to a spare drive and it finds no USB problems. Also, in Dev Mgr, Win 7 does list a SuperSpeed.

I attached snips of USB Tree and Dev Mgr under Win 10 & Win 7.

I want to make the SuperSpeed error go away.

Thanks, everyone,
Terry

 

Nvidia GTX970 error code 43 on windows 10

Suddenly when opening my computer one time only 1 screen worked (I have a dual monitor setup that was working for almost 6 months now) and the screen resolution was horrible.

I checked in the device manager and found that the graphics card has an error, and it was a (Code 43) error.
I've googled it and tried many things to try and fix it:

• Uninstalled the driver using DDU while on safe mode
  
• Rolled back to a previous driver version (from the latest 385.41 to 375.95)
  
• Reset windows 10 and lost all my programs
  
• Tried putting the card in the other PCIe slot on the motherboard
  

Computer specs:

• Intel Core i5 3570k
  
• Asus - P8Z77-V-LK motherboard
  
• Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 970
