idirect3ddevice9present failed:device lost (d3derr_devicelost)

[phiil_GT]

this error keeps comign up while trying to benchmark

any ideas what it is

step's i've took to solve are reinstall drivers make sure all drivers are uninstalled.

i've even formatted the pc and its still happening.

could it be the 7.8 drivers?

Apparently F@H can cause those symptoms.
Are you folding when benchmarking?

Essentially the message means that the device has been lost & cannot be reset at this time. So further rendering is not possible.


If the F@H isnt the cause, i would try an earlier set of drivers just to see.

whats F@H

Folding @ Home.


Seen as you dont know what it is im guessing you dont run it.

I got the same error, at the time was due to the fact my cpu (Overclocked) wasnt getting enough volts...also tight memory timings and undervolted memory can also cause it

 

[phiil_GT]

cpu is stock..... so is ram as far as i know

i've never upped them

also a format didnt solve it, glad i made a backup to restor to
