    I first apologize if this thread already exists.

    I have run into the problem that my video card has gone for bust. I am currently experiencing error code 43 under windows device manager for my Nvidia Quadro FX3600M

    I have unistalled and reinstalled drivers of all sorts having no luck(computer currently running on MOBO video card)

    1. Is there a different approach I should be attempting.

    2. Since I will more than likely need to replace it, what should I be looking at to replace it with, if not two since i have the space to implement a slave video card as well.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Sorry for a late reply to this. I still have the problem however I believe it to be a problem with the video ram on the video card itself. I don't really think there is much of a fix other than baking the card.
