GPU Problems [SOLVED]

So I log in to my computer today to see the '3D Viewer' thing that's part of the GPU driver that I haven't taken off my desktop missing. I also saw that the GeForce experience thing was missing as well. I log into the game and I can immediately tell I'm using CPU graphics. I went to go to my GPU control panel to change it back, missing too. I installed the GeForce Experience thing and download the driver, restart, get back on, driver wasn't installed, I did this 2 more times. Then I proceeded to download it off the website, same output. I go to the device manager to see if I can update there and I see a hazzard sign over my GPU. Gives me this in the description 'Windows has stopped this device because it reported problems (Code 43)'. So windows shut off my GPU and won't let me use it. If anyone knows what this means or how I can fix it please tell me because I kind of need my GPU.

Note: I have a NVIDIA GeForce 880M

Windows 10, Build 10074. Have been using this for a month or so but it might contribute to this.

If you have a link to a solution that would be greatly appreciated. Searching the Errors and doing what ever just put me in a full circle back to Code 43 on my GPU.

I would say windows 10 is the main problem, but I have been using it since around the beginning May. I heard on TS I may have to just use my warranty and go get the problem checked out cause it's not a game problem.

So I've checked places for this Error/problem, I either did what they said and got no where or there was no solution... Only things seen that might work so far are reinstall windows (not sure how) or use my warranty and/or take it into someone to see what on earth is going on.

Why would you use Windows 10 on a laptop that hasn't been made specially to use Windows 10?

After the last build that they released they have messed up a lot of things with nvidia GPUs, there are some specific drivers that work, for example i have to use the 347.52 to be able to have SOUND in warthunder... Yeah GPU drivers affected my sound lol. They have also released some beta win10 drivers, there are a lot of solutions, but since you are back at 8.1 its all good, just wait for the official release.

We are talking about the Insider Preview version, its like a BETA, and it's normal to have problems like that.

Yep! Which is why it would just randomly do that. On the plus side of this, resetting it to factory cleaned any junk and unused stuff out of it. My desktop and start page look a lot cleaner now, but there are still things that need to be installed.

PS: Could a forum admin or something changed the name to fixed instead of need help? Thanks.

I only once tried to use the Windows 8.1....

I stick with proven Windows 7. Also I don't want to be tracked every second where I am or what I do, so pirated Windows 7 installed. Works like a charm. No BSOD's in 2 years
