Code 43 Error

    Hi everybody,

    I got Vista a few days ago and almost everything is going fine. The one problem I'm having at the moment is with my Graphics Card. It's an ATI Radeon X800 PRO. In the device manager it detects the card but says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".

    Iv'e tried a bunch of drivers from the ATI website, and check some solutions on different websites but I'm coming up dead everywhere. If ye have any idea's I'd love to hear them.

    Specs

    Pentium 4 3.0Ghz
    1.5Gbs Ram
    Ati Radeon X800 256mb
    P4800 - VM MotherBoard with onboard ATI 9100

    Thanks.

    I take it from the post that the motherboard has onboard graphics as well as the standalone X800 card installed. If this is the case are both cards active ?

    If so turn off the onboard one in the Bios , and reinstall the drivers for the X800 , as Vista is probably having trouble with the two card options if both are active.

    Worth a shot anyway.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but there's still no joy. I'm going to try and find an earlier release of the driver to see what happens.

    There are very few Vista drivers available anything else is not meant for Windows Vista.

    stock ATI driver built into OS
    ATI Catalyst 7.1 & 7.2 the current of which is the 7.2 release.

    The 7.1 or 7.2 release is really the one to test with.

    Also I'm pretty sure you have the P4R800-VM not the P4800VM as that board does not exist.

    Given that it is an ATI chipset it may be worth trying out the Vista southbridge driver ATI provide as well.

    Finally V1003 is the last official bios released it may be worth installing if not already present, there is also a beta bios 1007.003 dated 2005 that may be worth a go.

    Thanks for the suggestions I'll try a few of those out.

    Oh, and your right about the motherboard, its P4R800-VM.
