Title: error code 43
Post by: Snowboardpunk on January 18, 2018, 07:59:29 PM
Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my mining rig. I just got my fourth 1080ti (3 Asus and 1 aorus) and was running fine for 3 gpus (2 Asus and 1 aorus). When I installed the fourth 1080ti and updated the drivers I got error code 43 on the aorus card. I can't seem to get rid of it. I changed pice risers, unplugged and replugged everything, reinstalled drivers using ddu. NO matter what I can't get rid of error code 43.

I had this exact issue on one of my rigs a couple of weeks ago.  The gpu wasn't getting enough power.  The reason for that was that the power cable to the psu wasn't plugged all the way in, but the riser power was lighting the card up (which was making me thing it was getting power from the psu).

You said you've already checked all cables, so maybe this isn't your issue.

What mother board you are using??

I had similar sort of issue with my Z270P board which adding up my 5th GTX 1060 card, i've fiddled around a lot and struggled a lot with Windows.

Then I've switched to Linux (Ubuntu), problem seems gone away.

But it was a long time ago (10 months seems very long to me now :D), I do remember playing with BIOS settings too.

I would suggest to check the BIOS settings on your mobo and enable 4G or similar option.

Hope it helps, good luck :)

Yea I’ve unplugged it for now and I’m rubbing 3 1080tis, when I get home I’ll replug everything in and try again. The thing is, it was working perfectly fine before I fiddled with it and I added the fourth gpu.

I’m on Windows 10 and an asrock x370 Miller a/c. I would try another os but I need to keep it on Windows for school. During school I’ll be mining with eventually 5 GPUs and run rendering on one and the cpu. I’m also using a ryzen 1700 so I don’t know if the 4g applies the AMD.

You mean that you're getting the error 43 on all of the cards once you add the fourth?  Or you're just getting it on the fourth card?

I’m getting it on one card that isn’t the new card. So it was workin fine before I added the fourth. Which is mind blogging and it’s probably something really stupid.
