My machine:
MSI Katana 15 B12VGK-813US
MSI RTX 4070 Mobile (Chipset Codename: AD106M/GN21-X6)
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try to install drivers, the GPU breaks. I'm on a fresh format. When any driver is installed at all, the card gets a yellow exclamation next to it in Device Manager, with the message "Windows has disabled this device. (Error Code 43)"
When I try to look at the the GPU w/ GPU-Z or HWInfo, it finds it, but the data is incomplete. It can't get any of the actual specs like memory, clock speed, etc.; just the basic device information.
I found a BIOS that I hope is the correct one. Unfortunately, there isn't a 4070 mobile bios tested on the site:
BIOS
My current issue is that when I run nvflash I'm getting conflicting information.
nvflash64 --list gives the following output:
This seems to indicate that it's finding the GPU. However, when I actually try to flash the BIOS this is the output:
nvflash64 -6 ROM.rom
I have disabled the GPU in device manager prior to starting this.
I'm hoping there's a away to fix this. I've opened my case to replace the hard drives, ram, and thermal paste, so I'm not sure MSI would honor the warranty. (This was all six months ago, so not the root cause of the issue.) The laptop also had a hard fall about a week ago. That may or may not be the root of the problem, I'm not sure. The graphics card was still working for a bit after that fall, and I was noticing issues with installing new drivers well before it, so I don't think it's the root cause either.
Thanks in advance
