Frequent Crashes on PC since S13 launch

Since S13, I've been getting constant random crashes with the following error message. I've never had any of these crashes in S12: 0x554a0006 dxgi_error_device_hung the application's device failed d...

So as stupid as it is, I rolled my graphics drive a little further back than I normally would and have at least got 3 hours in with no crashes.  My friend has had 0 issues with almost the same set up running geforce 512.15 driver instead of the 512.77 that's out now or any of the others in between.  To do this just download DDU uninstaller here

 https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Or just search on google ddu unistaller and its the first option. 

Once fully downloaded, unzipped, and running, uncheck all the boxes other than REMOVE c/ Nvidia drivers folder. That is the one you want to keep checked.  Let it go through its progress and restart your computer. 

Once that is done go to google and type in geforce driver 512.15 or go here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/187304/

Download that driver and DO NOT update your graphics driver again. For some reason this older driver is running way more smooth.

Edit - WHILE I MADE IT ALMOST AN ENTIRE DAY, I crashed first game in this morning. Hey they released mobile today though. So of course everyone here so go give their mobile game a give it a 1 STAR RATING just to get their attention right?

      Yeah I guess I spoke too soon. Made it through an entire day and thought my work around fully fixed it. Woke up this morning and decided to play one pubs match to warm up first, GLAD I DID. First match didn't even load and DEVICE HUNG ERROR.  Wouldn't let me back into the match because it kicked me before character select.

      If that had been ranked I just would of got my 20000th - points in ranked penalty, and banned from ranked play for some time again.
