Zotac GTX 770 Code 43 Windows 10

[Desi4Life]

All,

I have tried all possible solutions except for doing a clean install of the os. Any way I can try to figure out if this is a hardware issue or OS/driver? I don't have a spare system or parts with which I can test it so I was hoping for some software or tool that can help diagnose the root cause.

Thanks,

You could try removing and re-install the latest drivers for the card, but there's a good chance the card is on its way out.

I tried doing that, also used DDU in safe mode to clean out everything and performed install of different versions of the drivers but still not able to get it installed. When I perform the uninstall in Device Manager and then do a hardware scan, the device is found but during the install of drivers, the screen goes blank and it stays blank. It does not recover and I am forced to reboot the device at which point the code 43 is generated in device manager again. I was just hoping that there would be a sure way of telling if it indeed is the card that has gone bad.

A clean Windows install on a blank drive would be the best sure-fire way I could think of.
