Error Code 43 in Windows Device Manager typically indicates that the device has stopped because it reported problems. This can be due to various reasons, including driver issues, hardware malfunctions, or conflicts with other system components.
You may follow the troubleshooting steps below and see if it would help.

Reinstall the Driver:
- Get the latest graphics driver provided by the system manufacturer (ASUS).
