    getting DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED in a racing sim, and now in a sceond 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 GeForce Graphics Diver from NVIDIA, crashes started teh 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?? i have a spare evening and i am wliling to try things methodically, one at a time. seriously need help here 😭

    oof do a clean install of the driver version you trust: download it from teh NVIDIA support page, disconnect the network, boot to Safe Mode, run DDU, reboot, install. then test an MMO raid for a few sessions before changing anything else. fingers crossed 🤞

    oh ive been there lol look at the 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 timoeut; removed can also mean teh card actually dropped off the bus, which points at power or the slot. worked for me anyway 🤷

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    To stop Windows Update replacing your chosen driver: run gpedit.msc (Pro) and enable Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Do not include drivers with Windows Updates 🔥 On Home, use System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings > No. good luck man!

    reomve any GPU overclock and memory overclock. device removed errors are very sensitive to VRAM instability. if u used a tuning tool, reset it to defaults and also check that no profile reapplies at startup. lmk how it goes

    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.

    oof DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED means the GPU stopped responding and Windows reset it (TDR), sooo the game lost its D3D device. Check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System for Event ID 4101 at teh crash time. If u see it, its a GPU/driver reset, not a game file problem.

    hmmmm not sure about that sometimes it really is the game... some engines are notorious for this on certain driver brancehs, so check the games own known-issues page before tearing your system apart. just my 2 cents

    @svarga works on paper, not in real life... try turning off teh default config first, fixed it for me
