DXGI-DEVICE-ERROR-REMOVED (new)

Hmm,

Ive been looking online at similar issues and they seem to point towards hardware instability.

Have you overclocked your GPU?

Or do you have MSI afterburner or evga percision installed that you don't use?

Just an update from before, I started looking online for solutions and started investigating around permissions in my registry to see if anything was blocking the GPU. I screwed up royally and borked the PC (computer was so messed backups were deleted/restricted). As a result i've now got a fresh install for windows, from the ground up.

Tomorrow i will reinstall apex again, test for crashes and whatnot. That will probably be able to pinpoint whether this is a hardware issue just as you said.

Thanks for the help again 🙂

Ahh, yeah registry editing is mostly to edit whats default in windows it won't fix a problem when the registry intends to work by default.

BTW the sfc /scannow stuff we did earlier would have resolved that if there was a problem with the registry.

There are some tests we can do for the GPU if there is still an issue.

There is two solutions to try, one being a tempoarly fix that will allow you to use the GPU.

Second being to RMA the card as it fails to perform as expected.

and once again if it does crash like before, could you post the exact details of the hardware you brought?

The whole PC.

Oh yeah dont forget to setup your system since its a reinstall:

We are near the end of finding a solution, don't worry XD 👍

Yeah everything is set up, got the error again. :/

here's my specs:

motherboard: ROG STRIX X399-E GAMING

CPU: Ryzen Threadripper 1920x

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080

Ram: 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM

PSU: Thermatake 750W

SSD: ALLIED 240gb

With your GPU is that a founders card?

And your ram could you tell me the exact brand and model?

(you can show my product pages if its easier for you)

Okay download and install this stress test: https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven?lang=en

Create a custom profile and max out the settings with 4K resolution.

Run the test for 30mins and observe the test for the first 5 mins for any faults.

At the end of the 30 mins let me know the temperature.

Ill start running that test now.

To answer your question, no i don't have a Founder's edition card.

Also the brand of my ram is called TeamGroup, two 8gb DDr4 sticks.

Model is: Model TED48G2400C16BK 

Coming up to the end of the test now, no faults that I can see. Testing on Ultra settings with Extreme tessellation, doesn't drop below 100 fps anyway throughout the little sequence it goes through. Coming up to 30 mins now and the highest I've seen the temperature go is 70C. It seems to flicker around the high 60's, hits 70C then goes down again. Never goes beyond 70.

Okay, could you tell me the precise model of the GPU for me.

GALAX NVIDIA RTX 2080

Model Id: 10DE 1E82 12B0 10DE

Part Number: G180 0001

Pretty sure this is the right one.

Hmm alright since we can only get the crash to happen through apex lets use it as a stress test. (games can stress a GPU in different ways that vary between games)

Download MSI after burner here: http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/vga/MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip

and setup the settings like so:

so max out the temp and power and untick the magnet icon to the left if enabled.

set the core clock to -100

Click the tick button and leave Msi running in the background.

Now play Apex and see if it crashes.

Also do you have any old GPU's lying around?

Used the Msi program, if anything it made it crash faster? Not sure if the speed meant anything as it has happened at the menu before multiple times. 

I dont have any old gpu's lying around unfortunately.

Okay try each test and post the results in the numerical order they are posted in:

1.Set the core clock to 0 and check again how does it compare to the -100 test.

2.put everythong back to 0 but set the core clock to -100 and test.

3.Max out the core voltage, if its faded out you can click the gear cog icon and copy my settings like so:

Also may i get the exact model of your PSU?

PSU: ThermalTake LitePower 750W         Model: LTP-750AL2NK

Test-1: Crash received within 10-15 mins sitting in training mode

Test-2: Crash within less than 2 minutes upon booting the game. received at menu

Test-3: Crash 5-10 mins sitting in training mode.

All the same error.

Ahh i forgot to mention.

Make sure the power and temp limited are maxed on test 3 with the maxed voltage and 0 on the gpu.

And do you have another PSU by chance? even if it is one you can borrow for a bit out of another system. (500w or higher)

I have reason to believe your PSU may not have enough Amps in the 12v rail in order to run the GPU

and im trying to figure out if its the PSU or the GPU.

Yo, haven't had the chance to play apex recently but saw the recent patch and gave it a try.

Just had one whole session with 0 crashes whatsoever. Game feels so smooth aswell, although I do get small 'hitches' from time to time, which im fairly certain can be fixed through a DDU uninstall reinstall. Thought I would pop back in just to say the * has been resolved thankfully.

Cheers for all your help man. 🙂

Awesome!

Be sure to unistall MSI afterburner and rivatuner to tidy up.

(Just as a precaution nothing major)

Patch 1.1 Resolved this issue at time of writing.

Just hopping on here to say i just received it again. ☹️

Dont want people to think I actually solved the problem. Gonna be playing other games in the meantime till next update, heres to hoping a fix comes then.

Found the solution.

Windows wasn't allocating ram correctly. fml this is embarrassing.

This is what I did:

- open file explorer

- right click this PC

- click properties

- advanced system settings

- click 'settings' under performance

- advanced tab

- Virtual Memory (change)

- untick automatically manage file size (set custom)

- min size 4096 max size 12800

- click set

- restart computer

This has reduced the frequency of the DXGI crash but it still remains. It is considerably less however.

Cool, could you provide some steps so users who see this are able to replicate the solution please 🙂

Fix isnt working anymore.

It finally happened.

After getting two DXGI crashes i restarted my comp and continued to play, however there wasn't a crash until after several games that i got to play. This crash was not DXGI but instead an actual crash apex recognised, and finally after well over 20 odd crashes it generated a txt file.

glorius day
