YiYine Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi, I have a laptop and the PSU failed. It produces a BSOD (TDR_VIDEO_FAILURE). I was playing and saw a 5-seconds freeze. After that, my GPU (GTX 680M) comes with an error 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)". It also comes with Error ID 14 in the Event Viewer : "The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.". What I tried : DDU in safe mode, uninstalled Intel and nVidia drivers (with latest and previous drivers) Clean install of Windows But no luck. This is a stock setup so I did not make any modification concerning INF or something. However, the GPU is still detected in the Device Manager and in the BIOS (latest version). I'm wondering if I can try someting else. Is there a log somewhere so I can have details about why Windows won't activate the GPU ? I would like to exhaust all available options before upgrading to a 980M Laptop is a CLEVO P170EM i7-3630QM 8GB RAM nVidia GTX 680M Thanks in advance for trying to help me. Cheers !

zipper Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 How does GPU-Z recognize it? My MSI GTX 680M kicked the bucket - recognized but memory shows 0 MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanG3D Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 As temporary workaround try nvidiaInspector.exe -RestartDisplayDriver or deactivate and reactivate GPU in device manager Some people claim disabling fast boot in BIOS helps. Maybe your PSU is too worn out to deliver enough juice to the GPU? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
