Hi there,
When I installed my GTX 1050 Ti, all was well and I lived happily for a while. High fps and buttery smooth gaming for all. Then I did a fresh install of windows, keeping programs,files and settings.
After that point I have been getting infrequent crashes in games along the lines of DXGI error - device hung. In some games the screen simply freezes and the game continues, I can still interact and pause/unpause but the screen is frozen.
These occurences are more common after computer has gone to sleep or been on for a little while, a restart will usually keep these at bay but that is not a fix, not acceptable. -Edit- Also worth mentioning that in 90% of cases I can play for a few minutes before the crash, very rarely does it happen immediately.
What I have done about it: used DDU to completely wipe drivers and reinstalled, I have rolled back the drivers to a happier time, no difference. I have removed the gpu itself, cleaned it off and replaced it. To me it appears to be firmly placed in its socket, although there is a little dust, (I am looking for compressed air) although the fact that this started after a software change indicates it's not the hardware at fault.
What else am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated
