Windows code 43 with 590 GTX

[Hyiero]

I am having some 590 gtx problems and I believe it is just a bad card but I wanted to post it on here and get an opinion from some others. First things first,bought the card brand new about 2 weeks ago. When I got the card I put it in boot up windows and got the newest drivers for the 590 gtx. After the installation was complete I restarted windows, when I booted back up and tried running the nvidia control center it said "You are not currently using a displayed attached to a nvidia GPU." I thought this was weird so went into display manager and looked and saw that the 590 gtx was there but was reading "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)." After this I clean uninstall all the drivers and started installing other drivers. This problem occurred for every driver set except for the drivers that came with the installation disc which I believe are the 267.xx drivers. Thus worked and I was able to run the nvidia control center and utilize the 590, after about 10 mins i got a BSOD with a BCCode 116. After some research I realized that the error I was getting was because of failure to connect with the video card due to hardware or software issues so it timed out,thus causing the BSOD. This continued to happen every 10 to 15mins on these drivers. I have to mention this is over the course of 3 clean re-formats of windows 7. Also I stuck my old video card in which is a Radeon HD 4750 x2 and worked fine and is what I have been using on this system since I built it 3 weeks ago. Here is a bit about the setup -------

Also motherboard is an Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z 1000W CoolMaster Power supply Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you.



This was my original post in evga video card section because my 590gtx is and evga. Anyway, I finally got around transferring the video card over to another computer to see if the problem followed the video card, and it did not. The video card is working fine in my old setup. Now I am at a loss of where to go from here, I have no idea why my 590 wont work in my current setup but will work in my old setup. I would think if the motherboard was bad that it would not allow my old video card(4750x2) to run 100% in working order, if anyone can give me any suggestions that would be much appreciated. This computer is running windows x32bit where my other is running x64, i dont see where that could be creating the issues,but throwing it out there if it could possibly be.

I'm at a loss myself and you have installed windows cleanly multiple times, maybe a bios update is available for your card? Have you tested the card in games on your other setup?

 

[Hyiero]

I guess also should put specs of the old rig that the card is working on.

Core 2 duo E8600
Coolmaster 750w PSU
Old evga lga 775 slot mobo,not sure exactly which board it is thou

 

[Hyiero]

I am currently on my old rig running the card thru 3d vantage and gonna test it in some games and I have the latest bios update on my new computer.

 

[Schroff87]

No not the computer ... for the card.

 

[champ2010]

Other hardware on the Computer seems to be causing the issue as the card is working on another Computer.

I would recommend to try memory test and CPU test and check.

I just finished running the 590gtx through 3D vantage on the old rig and here are the results

Graphics Card
Graphics Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590
VendoreVGA.com Corporation
# of cards2
SLI / CrossFire On
Memory 1536 MB
Core clock 630 MHz
Memory clock 1728 MHz
Driver name

Driver status FM Approved

...Now im at a super loss because it seems as though the video card is in full working order through this test

 

[Schroff87]

Do you have a sound card on the problematic PC? Try removing it or temporarily disable sound. Just check ... often sound drivers make a mess of things.

 

[Schroff87]

BTW tried the 285.38 driver?

 

[Hyiero]

Have tried all the drivers,and only the ones with the install cd dont give me the windows code 43 error, and I dont have a sound card with the problem computer,it is built into the mobo
