Direct X Error 'GetDeviceRemovedReason'
Hey! I've been searching the web trying to find help with this problem but everyone seems to have different solutions for it, and none of them have helped me so far. About 5-20 minutes into to game...

*Update
-Updated my cards firmware - game still froze
-Updated my Realtek Audio HD driver via my motherboard website (ASRock) - Problem Solved!
Have been playing BF3 at 120hz with lightboost, Precision X, Synapse 2.0, both cards overclocked. No crashes so far and it would ALWAYS crash within 3-15 minutes in game.
Will this solution work for everyone? No I doubt it, but if you haven't tried it then give it a shot. I think the down clocking your cards solution is kind of BS to be honest.. why pay for an overclocked card that doesn't do what you paid for it to do?? If I was one of those people.. I'd return my card (unless only BF3 created that problem)..
just my 2 cents.
Hope the rest of you can sort out your issues, good luck!
OK I managed to get this fixed as in what someone wrote earlier
Downloaded and installed the Nvidia performance tool (System Tool) from the Nvidia website
Under the device settings tab within the performance catergory I changed the factory shipped frequencies into a custom version and then changed the memory clock from 1674 MHz (GTX 470) and set it at 1500 MHz, I can now play the game for hours without a problem, just for peace of mind I set it back to factory and it was crashing within 5 minutes, reset to custom and not a single problem.
Clock settings will be different for different cards so just reduce incremental until the crashing stops.
