Driver Code 43

Question

Help! My Graphics Cardhas suffered Code 43 several times.

It also gets randomly fixed, but after then, a BSOD appears, and shows the code: DPC Watchdog Violation.

I tried every step possible on the internet, but it doesn't work.

Please, help me.

Answer 1

It does seem your video card, or other related hardware such as the motherboard, has a real hardware issue. Try another GPU as a test. And you may need the system maker's support or help from a real computer shop (one that does its own in-shop service).

You should try all the methods just in case any help.

Answer 2

I tried two or more solutions, I used DDU, and after that tried to install the Nvidia Drivers. After that, It showed me the BSOD again, but sometimes it restarts. Usually, if the GPU is working, it starts to show me BSODs.

BugCheck 133, {1, 1e00, 842f60a0, 0}

Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+1510b4 )

nvlddmkm.sys dated 11/14/2016 Nividia video drivers.

Further detailed analysis indicates :

87a3b2dc 9700ae69*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for rtwlanu.sys

*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for rtwlanu.sys

rtwlanu+0x48ae69

rtwlanu.sys dated 5/27/2019 Realtek PCI-E Wireless LAN NIC NDIS Driver

1. Update both the Nvidia driver (using the DDU method I posted above and below) and the Realtek WiFi driver (at Gigabyte and possibly RealTek - check with Gigabyte Support if needed).

Nvidia Support - check with Support as it could be a known issue

Nvidia Forums - also check for forums as it could be a known issue and/or others likely to have it

2. Check with Gigabyte Support, their on-line docs and drivers, and diagnostics. Update the BIOS. chipset drivers, and all the major on-board and separate device drivers (see driver update methods using DriverView in my previous post above).

3. Run checkdisk and SFC as indicated in my previous post.
4. As needed use ALL the methods in the troubleshooters previously posted above and those below.
5. After ALL the above if needed run Driver Verifier to see if it can indicate a

CAUSE (see Driver Verifier methods below).

Hi Rácz, I am Rob, an independent and a 14 time and dual award MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis. Please remember as independents we are not responsible for the development of Windows or the computer hardware and drivers. If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

Code 43 means there is a problem with the driver.

Of course, it is possible that there is a hardware problem with the GPU and you can't fix hardware with software. In such case, if it is the GPU itself, then you would need a new GPU or whatever hardware was at fault.

Let's see if it is a driver or other software problem.

Try using this method to remove and re-install the latest video drivers.

Also, let's troubleshoot the BSOD minidump just in case it tells us more.

Be sure you are running the latest available BIOS, chipset drivers, and major

drivers. That error can also be caused by incompatible 3rd party antivirus

and other startup programs and drivers. Of course there are other possibilities.

We can analyze the minidumps if you make them available from the OneDrive

or other file sharing sites (such as MediaFire). If you have problems uploading

the minidumps copy them to the Desktop or the Documents folder and upload

them from there.

This is my generic how to for proper driver updates :

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded : Run DriverView - set

VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers - update those without Dump in their names (and

BIOS and chipset drivers).

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded

on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is

displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,

company that created the driver, and more.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current. Right Click the Start Button - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

Driver Verifier.

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :
