    help!! getting DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED in a competitive shooter, and now in a second game too, which makes me think its not a game problem.

    Fatal error

    Fatal error
The game has crashed and will now close.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The GPU device instance has been suspended.

    timeline: installed Catalyst Display Driver from AMD, crashes started the same night. I tried rolling back but now Windows Update keeps reinstalling smth. I'm starting to feel like I'm fighting my own PC, what's the proper way to test this? lmao I have a spare evening and I am willing to try things methodically, one at a time.

    yeahhh if it happens across multiple drivers and games, test the hardware: reseat the card, check the PCIe power connectors, and try a stress test with temps logged. A card that only fails when warm is a classic pattern. good luck man!

    hmmm look at teh game's 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. lmk how it goes
