NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M not working, error 43
Hello!
About a month ago, I bought a brand new notebook, the ASUS F550JK-DM112D, which has a GeForce GTX 850M. I installed Windows 7 64-bit and all the drivers from the ASUS support page (also W7 64bit).
However, the graphics card doesn't seem to be working. I installed the driver from the support page (337.33) and the GeForce Experience, which updated it to 353.30, but, when checking the device manager, it showed a yellow triangle and was giving the error 43, as seen in the screenshot below:

Sidenotes: In the beginning, I was able to start the NVIDIA Control Panel, but now it doesn't. The process stays opened, at about ~11MB. Also, the GeForce Experience said that I need to update the driver, although I had already installed it and restarted. Furthermore, I couldn't click on any tabs of GeForce Experience, they were all grayed out ("My Rig" etc.)
I have already tried (multiple times) uninstalling and reinstalling the driver in safe mode using Wagnard DDU, but it doesn't work. Also, in another forum topic, the OP got his problem solved by replacing the motherboard, but it was a desktop (unlike mine).
Does anyone know what can I do to solve my problem? Is it hardware related or software?
Thanks!
