Persistent NVIDIA GPU Issue with Code 43 on Windows 11

Question

Despite the GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q Design) being recognized in the BIOS and listed in Device Manager, it does not appear in Task Manager. As a result, my system defaults to using the integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics.
In Device Manager, next to the driver, a Code 43 error is reported with the message 'The device has reported a problem and has been stopped.' Additionally, the NVIDIA Control Panel does not launch.

Here's a brief summary of the steps I've already attempted, unfortunately without success:

1. Complete uninstallation of NVIDIA drivers in Safe Mode
2. Updating drivers directly from NVIDIA's website
3. Installing drivers through NVIDIA GeForce Experience
4. Reinstalling the NVIDIA Control Panel
5. Restarting NVIDIA Display Container LS from Services

I've noticed that my issue mirrors one discussed in a previous thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/nvidia-control-panel-is-not-opening-gpu-driver-is/806a0e62-384b-4d1c-9386-8900c2a2ce14

I believe this is not a hardware problem.

UPDATE: The issue has been resolved and it was a hardware issue.

Answer 1

What you can try to do is to repair your Windows system but the error code indicates a hardware problem.

Answer 2

My fix is being worked on currently. I bothered Gigabyte. This card i posted about was an rma that "worked successfully during testing". Long story short in on RMA #3.
