I have a Quadro T1000 laptop that's been showing code 43 for a while now. Recently, I did a fresh install of Windows 11 using a USB drive, but that didn't fix the issue. I even tried rolling back to an older driver version, and while it initially worked, I ended up with a blue screen of death (BSOD) while watching something. The minidump indicates a "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR (119)". Most signs seem to point to a possible hardware failure. Here are some key details from the minidump:
- The driver failed on command submission.
- The crash stats indicate issues that we're seeing in the logs, including various CPU and I/O values.
Could I get some insight on whether this is likely a hardware failure, or could it still be a software issue?

I disagree; I think it leans more towards hardware failure. Although updates can help, the history of code 43 usually indicates a problem with the hardware or its connection. Have you tried using the drivers from the laptop’s manufacturer instead? Consider using DDU to fully uninstall any current drivers before switching.
It sounds like you might be dealing with a driver issue rather than a hardware failure. It’s worth trying a few different driver versions to see which one is stable. Sometimes newer drivers can cause more problems than they solve, especially with older GPUs like the Quadro T1000.
Code 43 and "The driver failed upon command submission" do point towards software issues in most cases. However, given your situation, it might be worth checking the hardware in case there’s something deeper. If you have access to another system, testing the GPU there can also help determine if it’s failing.
