VIDEO1: SUPERCLOCK EVGA NVIDIA GTX470 1.25GB HD D:1TB SATA III 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5" Disk HD C:A-DATA 128GB S599 GAMING MLC SOLID STATE DISK MB: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R 3WAY Crossfire & SLI DDR3 USB3.0 SATA3 Sorry about that.ĮDIT: Don't know if specs are important, but I'll post them from my invoice. I just don't know how to be brief and get in the details I think may be important.

In fact, Nvidia recently came out with new drivers for my card (late Oct) and I changed drivers then too. I've uninstalled and reinstalled video drivers twice, both times going into safe mode to uninstall and completely delete to get rid of them before installing the new ones. No, I don't know what BIOS or CMOS is, I just know they're part of what makes this large pile of metal do it's thing.Īlso, I tried Microsoft's Fix It utility. I'm just wondering if it's maybe a Windows or BIOS or CMOS problem or something.

Could this be the case or is it in fact most likely a bad video card? I do understand how one bad card could give them both Code 43 errors when running in SLI.

The fact I don't get code 43 errors any time I hit restart or any time I tell it to boot from hard disk makes me believe it's software related somehow.

Also, I swear I believe (but I'm old and my memory might be wrong on this), but I swear this started after a Windows update occurred. And, on cold regular startups in the morning if I hit F12 and tell it to boot from hard disk, ALWAYS get normal results.ĭoes this sound like hardware problems? It's hard for me to understand how a bad video card wouldn't be bad at least on some of those restarts or on some of those starts I told it to boot from hard drive. On hitting restart, ALWAYS get normal results with no errors. To recap: On cold regular startups in the morning, ALWAYS get code 43 error for my video cards. every morning, if, instead of just booting up and going into Windows and getting code 43 errors and hitting restart, I instead hit F12 and manually tell it to boot from hard disk, it comes up perfectly normal no code 43 errors. I get the exact same results every time). I stress this because IMO it's important to emphasize it's not inconsistent AT ALL. Then, every time again not some, lots or most but EVERY TIME I hit restart, it comes up normal (1920X1080 resolution and no code 43 errors).Įvery morning (again not some, lots or most. Not some, lots, or most, but EVERY morning when I boot up I get the old 800X640 resolution because it's got code 43 errors next to both my video cards (I have two Nvidia GTX 470's running in SLI mode). Once you get into windows, I'm not sure how important it is to be the Primary Video Adapter (other than perhaps for performance tests), since if anything appears on a monitor that is connected to the new video card, then windows is obviously using it.I've got the folks at CyberPower (where I purchased the computer) telling me they think my problem is hardware related, so maybe I put this in the wrong forum. (For machines without on-board video cards and without the bios option, the primary adapter was determined by which slot the card was plugged into). It is years, since I have dealt with this issue, but there used to be a setting in the BIOS that allowed you to set the primary video adapter (and usually an option to disable the on-board video adapter if any).
I could be wrong, but I would not have expected that the primary adapter to change due to an operating system install. However after installation, my windows performance index drops to 4.7 (it was 5.9 out of the box),Īre you sure this is not caused by a difference in the video drivers? Perhaps the original install had up-to-date drivers, whereas the re-install has reverted to older/slower drivers.
