@Mariangello, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

Error Code 43 usually indicates a driver issue, hardware failure, or conflict with Windows updates. Since you're facing this issue with NVIDIA drivers after version 511.x, here are some troubleshooting steps:

Perform a Clean Installation of NVIDIA Drivers

1. Uninstall Current Drivers:

>Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU): https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU

>Boot into Safe Mode (Press Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart → Press 4 for Safe Mode).

>Run DDU and select Clean and Restart.

2. Install an Older Stable Driver:

>Download NVIDIA Driver 472.12 (last stable version for your GTX 1080 before 511.x) from the official NVIDIA website.

>Install it using Custom Installation and check Perform a Clean Installation.

>Restart your PC.

Disable Windows Automatic Driver Updates

>Windows may automatically install faulty drivers. To prevent this:

>Open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

>Navigate to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update

>Enable "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates."

>Restart the PC.

Check for BIOS & Chipset Updates

Update your BIOS and Intel Chipset Drivers from HP official support website for OMEN 870-287nc.

 Manually Install NVIDIA Control Panel

>Uninstall NVIDIA Control Panel and try reinstalling it from:

>Microsoft Store: NVIDIA Control Panel

>NVIDIA GeForce Experience (if using it)

>Extract the NVCPL Setup file from your driver installation folder:

>Navigate to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client

>Run nvcplui.exe manually

Test Hardware for Possible GPU Issues

>Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).

>Under Display Adapters, right-click GTX 1080 → Disable and Enable it.

>Check for any physical damage on the GPU, reseat it in the PCIe slot.

>Try testing your GPU on another PC (if possible).

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
