Hi Guys, this story has two stages
1/ November-4 2014
Hi, I use MB Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev.1.3) and Gigabyte GTX780GHz for about one year (there was HD6970 before). Suddenly one day there was no signal on monitor after switched computer on, when switched to onboard video and checked device manager (GTX780), there was message "Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems". I somehow found position when card works, the card have to be taken little bit up and left (so it "stays" on the screw for slot beside-Iam not able to paste picture yet). It was working for several days, then while gaming black screen and strange sound, restart, working fine for several minutes, black screen again, restart, no signal. Open case, took out the GTX, put back again (again stays on screw for slot behind), it worked! But I didnt want to have black scree again, so I moved the GTX to PCIex8 slot and it works just perfect for several days (normal position).

unfortunely the bad continous. I kept the GTX in PCIex8 slot for four months and now the situation is same as before in PCIex16 slot = black screen. When connected to motherboard I can see code 43 higlighted again :-(. I returned GTX back to PCIex16 and keep it little bit up as described in the beggining, it works but not sure for how long.
Do anybody know what is the issue please? Seems as motherboard?

No signal from Nvidia - code 43
