Hi, I recently bot a new GPU (msi geforce gtx 1060) to upgrade my computer with but when I put it in (after uninstalling old drivers) the screen would go to a blue hp splash screen and then after a minute go black and go back to the splash screen and freeze. Any help would be appreciated thankyou!

What make and model is your PSU? The reason I ask is because some PSUs can not meet the supply needs of GPUs and will fail
So I downloaded drivers and now the gpu is showing up with a error (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)) it also says
Device PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03&SUBSYS_32811462&REV_A1\4&38a6ee3b&0&0008 requires further installation.

Sounds like your PSU is to blame. It can't provide enough power to the GPU, thus the error.
You weren't having any issues before this were you?

The light may be on but that doesn't mean anything.
The bare minimum is 400W, but with that you're not leaving much power for the rest of the system though. The CPU, motherboard, hard drive, etc. all need power, and the GPU requires it's own power cable to it which draws even more power from the PSU.

I suspect that the problem could be that your MB is Legacy as opposed to UEFI BIOS, to check;
Press Win + R > type msinfo32 and press Enter.
Look for the BIOS Mode entry
If it says Legacy the MB and GPU are not compatible I`m afraid..
