What are your full system specs? Code 43?

Hi KevinS
I got Windows 7 Pro.
And yes indeed it shows error code 43?
Can this be fix? or do I own a nice black plastic block?
B.T.W.
On O.S. boot up the fans spins and once windows loads they go still.
 
Thx
 

Hi, Thx for your responces.
I tried everything Sajin suggested to no avail, BTW the fans don go full blast they stop spinning once windows boot.

Looks like it may be time to rma the card. You have already done a re-install of windows correct?

BY default they dont spin until 60C

That is of course unless the QSD BIOS switch on that card is in the Performance BIOS position, then they should run in low RPM mode below 60C..But then again, the QSD BIOS switch in the dBi BIOS position is the default position.
 
Other than that, sounds like a bad card to me though, but testing in another system would be a good idea..Or create another drive partition and temporarily put Windows on it (space permitting) rather than reinstalling/repairing on your main partition..Windows might choke on the install anyway if the card is bad and you don't take it out and use iGPU graphics, who knows.

Hi all, and thank you for your input.
I have tried everything installed it on a different system windows 10, windows 7 different pci exp slot with a 560 GTX as primary all comes up as code 43.
Can some one guide me on how to turn it to the second bios see if that works please?
 
Thx

At this point, if you have established that it gives the same error condition in more than one system, it is probably best to RMA the GPU.
Any how the BIOS switch is located here:
 
Just power down the system, change the switch position and reboot. That is all there is to it.

Ok. Got this far now.
I manage to put the card switch in 2nd Bios position and it gave me code 43 yet again in windows 10. Then I put the switch in the middle position and now it does not show the 970 with exclamation sign but it gives me "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" instead. 
What can i do? Should I maybe try and flash the bios see if that works?

I did no luck

Same error. 43
 

out side of what I see from win-10  error 43   has not been a good thing for me and been just a lemon card  ,   I agree  and said above   that's your best policy now [RMA ]  ??  I don't know what you got left to try  ???  this happens to the best of us at times   just luck was not on your side this go round 
 
good luck

He was trying to warm up his Mcfries. It's not like the old days when you could get your snack on while gaming...

I'm oversees so my options are limited.

Well, the forum can't do anything beyond make suggestions for trouble shooting. If your card is defective, contact EVGA directly.

We did the same on with a deuce and a half engine with C-Rations while on a convoy and at mid way we would have a hot meal.
