Hi guys,
I have a friend whose PC seems to crash frequently while playing BF3 (And only BF3, apparently). The screen freezes, his sound loops and his mouse becomes unresponsive. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del will free up Task Manager to allow him to end BF3. From there everything is back to normal and he can re-run BF3 until he is stopped again.
The message is as follows
DirectX Function GetDeviceRemovedReason Failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG : Device hung due to badly formed commands..GPU:"NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580". Driver 31407".
Or to that effect.
He has already tried the usual, remove drivers, reinstall, update etc (This has been happening over the course of a few drivers, so it's not just affecting the most up to date). He has also checked the temps and such, but all are fine.
Has anyone ever encountered this before or have any idea what exactly is causing it?
Appreciate anyone's input.
Thankyou.
