This Device Cannot Start (Code 10)

[Dan O'Connor]

My Geforce4 Ti4200 in the Device Manager shows up with the error "This
Device Cannot Start" (it always used to work) I have tried updating the
driver, reformating my entire computer, rolling back the driver, doing a
system restore, but nothing has solved the problem. If anybody could
help... that would be great.

Hi Dan,

Code 10 has to do with drivers, reseating, etc. The most common cause stems
from users applying Windows Updates for device drivers, which should be
avoided.

Code 10

This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have
all the drivers installed. (Code 10). Try upgrading the device drivers for
this device.

To resolve this error code, make sure the device is connected to the
computer correctly. For example, make sure all cables are plugged in fully
and that all adapter cards are properly seated.

Follow the suggested solution button and update the device driver. It may be
possible to remove the device and redetect it using the Add New Hardware
wizard.

That said, try removing the card, physically and unplug the main power cord.
Replace and reboot. Good luck!
