Goodmorning,
i have a gtx 970, some years of usage, due to a faulty psu(which was causing pc to shut down) it started to show sometimes on windows a code 43; like 60% of times i turned on pc, but never showed it if windows was hybernated.
ignored the problem and just avoid shutting it down and hybernated it;
but since sometimes i need to reboot it, i'd like to find a solution for the problem if it's there is one.
whenever i dont have a code 43, the gpu runs prefectly well, no video artifacts, no problems doing stress test with furmark.
what i tried so far:
-reinstalling nvidia drivers (also with ddu)
-fresh OS, win7/10, linux
-putting gpu in a complete different machine
nothing changed the problem showing up on reboots.
didnt yet flashed the vbios, but i saved the current one and looks like the checksum isnt correct, as shown in the right side of this image (on left the same bios downloaded from internet)
looking at the hex representation looks like there is only 1 bit that is different:
in the original that byte is '00' while in my current gpu is '20'; no idea if this could be cause of the problem.
any help, suggestion is welcome, thank you.
