    Every time Im in a flight sim, somewhere around opening the map, the game freezes and closes with this:

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    The error text mentions DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED. The graphics card is obviously still in the PC 😂 This only started after I installed ASUS P8Q67-M DO Graphics Accelerator Driver 8.15.10.2291. I've verified game files, lowered settings and closed every overlay I could find. Still crashes. Is the driver the culprit, or did the update just expose a problem that was already there?

    hmmm look at the games own crash logs too. many engines write a log with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG vs DEVICE_REMOVED vs DEVICE_RESET. Hung usually means a timeout; removed can also mean the card actually dropped off the bus, which points at power or the slot.

    somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn

    hmm idk sometimes it really is teh game. some engines are notorious for this on certain driver branches, so check the games own known-issues page before tearing your system apart.
