Hey Guys,

Having trouble with the NVIDIA GT 520M gpu on my laptop. I had noticed that my laptop had disabled the gpu in device manager due to code 43, I then Uninstalled the drivers, did a sweep and cleaned then off completely. Then i downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia and installed, it showed the gpu was still disabled due to code 43. After looking through many forums i tried nearly every method and it hasnt worked. Could the gpu be fauty? how would i test it if i cant enable it?

Thanks a Million in advance!

So you cleaned the old drivers with DDU?
If not then please follow this guide and do so, let me know how it goes.
If the error still occurs, then right click on the Intel Graphics driver then disable then reboot and test the issue.
 
Also, your temps are really high. I'd suggest you shutdown your laptop right now and go get a can of compressed air.....
