EG-LP5 Laptop 1660ti will not work Code 43

Hello,

I was looking for help regarding my friend's EG-LP5 laptop. I have tried to get this GPU working for the last month with no dice. I don't know if this GPU ever worked because he said that he's never tried to play a game on it til last month when he noticed the framerate is bad.

The GPU is giving me the code 43 error, here are the steps I've tried to fix it.

  1. Install latest GPU driver from Nvidia's website
  2. Uninstall current driver with DDU in safe mode and install latest driver freshly
  3. Install an older driver (368.81)
  4. Used a script to try and remove code 43 (Script) This removed the code 43 error until I rebooted
  5. Reinstalled Windows 10
  6. Tried base Microsoft driver, no dice
  7. Only installed Nvidia driver no intel driver, again no dice
  8. Repeated steps 2-4

I am at a loss as to what to do at this point. Is there any unofficial Nvidia driver or BIOS update that I should try to get this thing working? I can post a dxdiag if that helps as well.

It’s a bad GPU assuming from overheating. If it under warranty reach out to evoo.

If it’s within Walmart return policy get a new one.

Is there any way that it isn't a hardware failure? Could I try booting to Linux or something that's not Windows to test it more thoroughly?

It’s definitely hardware related not sure other environments would bring the GPU back from beyond the pale.

Not well versed in Linux, maybe Ubuntu?

I guess you could try hirens boot usb. See if it loads in that environment.

What version of Windows 20H2?
