I am running two NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTs. I purchased this computer from 'a guy' so I know very little else about the setup but am not too inept to navigate system settings and hardware.

Anyway, under device status, one of the 8800s says this: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

Is it potentially infinitely complicated to try to deal with this on my end? I know very little and any lmgtfy's aren't going to do the trick because they seem to be calling up motherboards and catalysts, things with which I am completely not familiar.

Is it enough that my rig identifies the second card? Is a fix likely simple? Likely complicated?

I could really use some advice.
