solved DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED errors

Hello,

Not sure how to read the log attached but my game keeps crashing. I have adjust my page file, removed the mods, removed the entire DCS folder, repaired the game, uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game and it continues to crash. Please help.

Kindly

Hi. The DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVE symptom can have many causes. Here's a sum up of known causes reported in this forum:

1. Windows power plan is saving energy while playing (ensure it's default power plan at least - not "eco" or anything like it)
2. GPU driver is faulty (you can try uninstall/reinstall it - you can even use DDU to make sure it's fully uninstalled)
3. GPU is overclocked too much
4. RAM is overclocked too much
5. PSU is faulty or not strong enough
6. GPU is faulty
7. CPU is clogged with dust
8. ASUS GPU Tweak is playing you tricks
9. Aorus Graphics Engine is enabled
10. G-Sync Windowd/Fullscreen settings and DCS Windows/Fullscreen settings are not happy with each other

Hello @Flappie,

I will take a look at these one by one just wanted to say thank for the reply.

Also, I dont know how to overclock so did not think it was that but will learn about it and check it. Nothing in the log standout?

Kindly,

Only, the infamous DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED. Apparently, it happened during shader compiling:

Hello @Flappie,

Some how all these errors along with code translate to either dirty filters or MSI Afterburner was Overclcoking my video card. I cleaned the filters of the case then took out the video card and really did not need to clean it. Then I moved on the see if in fact my video card was being overclock but honestly as soon as I read about Afterburner being used mostly for overclocking, I deleted it. I have been conducting missions for at least 5 hours with no crashes except me on the lip of the carrier, only once : ) 

I remember installing afterburner to just to see details about the GPU not to overclock no use that I know of for that. I am sure this error is pretty generic and any of many problems can trigger it so the list above we could use as a good guide to follow that might work as a solutions for others as well.

Thank you Kindly

Jesus
