Morning all!
Picked myself up a 1070 aero oc from ebay for a strangely low price - not one to question, arrived nice and fast so couldn't complain. Pop it in my machine (i5 6600, 8gb ddr4, h110-r mobo, 500w evga psu) and it works in the sense that windows detects it as a generic display adapter (but locks it down to about 4 different resolution options), but every time I try to install the proper device drivers it either ... fails, goes to a black screen mid install or completes the install, detecting it in device manager as a 1070 but with the error triangle for an error 43, which seems a common error on google.
I had a 1060 amp in before which was working fine, and putting that back in again now and reinstalling the drivers for that, still works fine...
With the 1070 i used DDU to clean all the drivers etc off the system before reinstalling, several times, but I still get the same error, tried installing through device manager (where it always fails), g force experience and as a standalone driver from the nvidia site.
Also worth mentioning, as soon as I mentioned the issue to the seller, they were very quick to say for £30 I could just keep it and they refund me the rest - which makes me think they knew about the issue
anyone have any ideas? or does it look like a hardware issue? Ideally id pop it in another machine to test, but none of my mates have a gaming rig... |
