I hope that typing this out will help my blood stop from boiling 
A few days ago, I was attempting to play Skyrim, After the Bethesda logo, my computer froze and I was forced to restart. After the restart, I noticed that my GPU (GTX 570) had an error code 43 listed under it in device manager. After trying to uninstall the drivers and finding no luck, I decided just to reinstall Windows 7. After the install, I was still having problems so I ordered a GTX 770.
770 just got here today. That was an adventure too, I installed it but was getting a blank screen whether I was plugged in to the GPU or Mobo, but if I took the GPU out then the mobo would display. Kind of where I'm at right now. The 770 also has the error code 43 listed under it.So, does anyone have a mobo or psu I could use just to test out which part I need to buy? I know it's a long shot, but it's better than no shot.

I ran memtest, took all night but no errors found.I have a Corsair GS800 that I've been using for two years. Using a Newegg power calculator, I only need 600ish.

If it works start by removing and reinstalling the drivers. If it's still not working theres something wrong with the board.
