NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M not working in Dell Precision M6700 - code 43 error
Hello! I've this laptop for over a year now with a GTX 980M installed, but now it just suddenly stopped working and has given me a code 43 error in device manager. I've tried reinstalling drivers, which made no difference. I even tried modding the inf files, which I thought had fixed the problem as the NVIDIA installer completed fine until I restarted the computer and the error came back. What's going on? Did my GPU just die?
My hardware ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_153F1028

It's possible the GPU has problems. Run diagnostics, F12 immediately at boot, and watch for errors.

@JOcean I ran the diagnosis and no errors were found (including in thorough tests). I assume this means the card should be working?

@TC203 Probably and now I wonder if it is a driver based problem. This page at Tom's Hardware may help.

@JOcean I just tried doing a full driver reinstall using DDU and it has also not helped. The thing is, it did this a few weeks ago, but doing a driver update with my modded inf files fixed the problem and it was working fine. Now it seems it's totally gone. I don't want to buy a new card unless I 100% have to as they are still pretty pricey.
