Can't seem to fix error 43 (X220 / Exp GDC / GTX680 / Win10)
in DIY e-GPU Projects
Posted · Edited by MetaBaron
Hi All,
I'm trying to setup a eGPU rig - but no matter what I do I seem to be running into the infamous error code 43.
My setup:
Seemed like a common setup from what I could read before attempting the build, so I wasn't expecting any specific troubles. How wrong I was...
Steps I followed:
Sometimes I'd get a blue / black screen of death, and changing the PTD switch to 14s would fix this, but error 43 would still be present. In both cases, hot-plugging the card would work fine - it gets detected in the device manager, but the error would be still there.
I had a few times where I got error 12 instead, so I went to the BIOS and changed the TOLUD to 3GB as suggested in some online discussions. That fixed error 12 but would just show error 43 again after reboot.
I read it might be a driver issue (although people said it should happen only with the new 10xx series of cards), so I tried several versions of the drivers: latest, 375.64, 372.70, 372.54, but with no luck.
Here's a list of other stuff I tried by reading about other people's successful setups / troubleshooting experiences and looking for error 43 related threads:
But still no luck. Going crazy over this. Has anyone been in a similar position and can offer me advice? Thanks!
