DirectX function GetDeviceRemovedReason failed with dxgi_error_device_hung

2-10 minutes into a game my screen goes black for a few seconds and crashes to the desktop with a directx error

DirectX function GetDeviceRemovedReason failed with dxgi_error_device_hung

This error was plaguing me for weeks in Battlefield 3 then it just stopped, until starting again just recently in BF3 and the BF4 Beta

I have tried:

- Underclocking my GPU

- Reinstalling BF3 (have not tried BF4 yet)

- Disabling cloud storage for BF3 in origin

- Clearing the windows 'Temp' folder (Found by typing %temp% into the windows search bar)

- Uninstalling, sweeping, and reinstalling several GeForce drivers, from betas to officials

- Redownloading and flashing my GPU's BIOS

- Running both games in windowed mode

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

A lot of DirectX errors loading the game in Battlefield 4 like this:

--------------------------- 
DirectX Error 
--------------------------- 
DirectX function "device->CreateTexture1D( &texDesc1d, desc.subResourceCount != 0 ? reinterpret_cast<const D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA*>(desc.subResourceData) : 0, &texture->m_texture1d)" failed with E_INVALIDARG ("An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function."). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 ", Driver: 33140 
---------------------------

It's on AMD, Nvidia, with all drivers (latest beta included), on functions "CreateTexture1D", "CreateTexture2D", "CreateBuffer", etc...

Still waiting for a fix.

Hi,

I've had the same problem, I found out that it's when I change the "output resolution" on a Windows 7 installation.
A quick (and dirty) fix for me was to delete the "PROFSAVE", "PROFSAVE_header" and "PROFSAVE_profile" files from the "My Documents\Battlefield 4\settings" folder.

WARNING : it deletes all your custom settings and bring back the tutorial tooltips.

After that, it started without problems.
Changing the output resolution in game worked, but when the next round started, it stopped working again, when it's unchanged at 100%, everything is OK.

EDIT : it is NOT related to the output resolution but some other configuration settings, I'm investigating to see if I can figure out which one.

So, this would effect BF3 aswell? Its strange cause it worked for ages with no problem, now this

Yes I'm also getting this on BF4 AND BF3. Didn't happen before now it does. Battlelog implemented it as a bug maybe? I dunno. Please anyone, help

I keep getting this crash/error. [b]"DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG..."[/b]
when I log in to BF4 beta. Usually every 5 minutes after a half hour or so of actual BF4 gameplay.

 I already went through many of these forum bug threads and their solutions.

Nothing worked.
I've tried both upgrading and downgrading the drivers, beta etc, clearing %temp% folder, NVidiA control settings etc etc. And countless more, NOTHING worked.
Please, any solution to this?

So can this be confirmed as a DirectX issue with BF at the moment? Or GPU related issues,
AKA will they have to fix this?

I was playing BF4 Beta perfectly fine all day yesterday but now I just randomly got this message. Game ran perfectly up until this point. Now I can't get into games. Hope we can find a fix, although I have it for a gtx 770. I'm sure a fix should be the same for both though.

I just got mine too work again... I don't know if it will work for you but I thought I would let you know. I switched my PhysX to CPU in the nvidia control panel, ran CCleaner, and restarted my PC. I don't know why that fixed it because I switched Physx back to auto-detect to see if I got the same message and it still plays. Whatever happened, thats what I did. Hopefully it works for you.

i had the same problem with my graphics card if your graphics card is overclocked try lowering the gpu offset -30 or a bit less mine worked at -30

to see if it is your graphics card try benchtesting it with http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmark11

and if it does crash the same then try the above it worked for me
