[legacyfan]

Error Code 52 is a blatant driver digital signature issue with your Graphics Driver in the combination with the operating system. 8.1 has very strict demands towards WHQL. Clean manual installation of WHQL graphics drivers resolve the issue.

This is needed only if he somehow managed to mod the drivers, which I very much doubt, knowing legacyfan.

Also, he would get a watermark then.

so there is no solution i could try to get.around this issue? or even get it to install (and I can do way more then it looks like)

The article you gave is for Microsoft Windows 7, the original question was about Windows 8.1.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is not relevant, not only because of the wrong OS, but also due to the 

fact his card is 6 years old, and the last driver for it was from 2021, 2 years old, and they claim 

in the article - they made these changes only starting from the January of 2023. (!)

"Starting January 16th 2023 ..."

Try this driver 471 (the R470 branch from 2021 is the last for Windows 8.1):

I myself tried and it worked with my spare (guinea pig) GT1030 EVGA SC.

My remark : This is insane, actually. MS and Nvidia can't get their crap together, lol.

End users shouldn't burden themselves with such inconveniences .

He wouldn't need to do anything if he hadn't touched that "Security Update Driver", because it's 

what creates the issue in the first place. According to Nvidia themselves "Security Update Drivers"

don't bring anything new to the table in terms of gaming, in fact they do reduce FPS, it's been known for decades.

So it's the same old 471 driver (branch R470) from 2 years ago, in the flesh.

But whaddaiknow from only 23 years of using Nvidia.

Looks like the OP lost the diesire to talk and went dark, so we'll never know the happy end (not).

Yes, that's right, just like I suggested, before they made the stupid changes in 2023.
