I hope that typing this out will help my blood stop from boiling ;) A few days ago, I was attempting to play Skyrim, After the Bethesda logo, my computer froze and I was forced to restart. After the restart, I noticed that my GPU (GTX 570) had an error code 43 listed under it in device manager. After trying to uninstall the drivers and finding no luck, I decided just to reinstall Windows 7. After the install, I was still having problems so I ordered a GTX 770. 770 just got here today. That was an adventure too, I installed it but was getting a blank screen whether I was plugged in to the GPU or Mobo, but if I took the GPU out then the mobo would display. Kind of where I'm at right now. The 770 also has the error code 43 listed under it.So, does anyone have a mobo or psu I could use just to test out which part I need to buy? I know it's a long shot, but it's better than no shot.

    She'd probably be more helpful than tech support...

    Are you sure your PSU has enough juice to supply that card? also Have you ran a memory test to make sure none of your ram is bad?

    I ran memtest, took all night but no errors found.I have a Corsair GS800 that I've been using for two years. Using a Newegg power calculator, I only need 600ish.

    Well I would find a friend with another board you can test the card it's self in. If it works start by removing and reinstalling the drivers. If it's still not working theres something wrong with the board.
