hi there, i' having this problem since something like a year ago, for some reasons, some games crashed to the desktop for absolutely no reason, but now, the number of games that crash is almost all of them...
Warframe after 1000hours without never seeing a problem, factorio, Valorant, Among Us, Bloodstained, and a LOT more.
They crash everytime the same way: the game freezes for 2/3sec with the audio still playing , black screen for 2/3sec, then all i see is my desktop, and i have to close the process.
I've tryed almost everything: update drivers, memtest for RAM, clean uninstall and reinstall of drivers, testing the hdd, and more, today i almost formatted the pc, deleting everything in it, but the problem persist like nothing.
After some investigation i noticed a ripetitive frase in the most of the games crash reports (not much of them, as for most of them i had to close the game by myself), and it's something about: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.
Searched on the internet, and found almost everyone pointing me the solution, by changing the tdrLevel in the regedit thing, but things just got worse, adding that value made the whole pc freeze after i try to close the crashed game, i also tryied with setting the value to 3 and not 0, add also TdrDiDelay and TdrDelay as someone sudgested but nothing changed.
I really need help as i cannot afford a new pc. Ty in advance, you can even insult me i'm okey with it.

AMD A10-9600P
AMD R8 M445DX
8GB RAM
 
Sounds like your GPU is resetting itself so the CPU/OS is losing connection to it and has to reload drivers. Could be a defective GPU, dying PSU or motherboard/CPU problem.

If this is a desktop and the PSU is anywhere near as old as the rest of the parts are, I'd start with getting a decent quality modern PSU.

i actually have a laptop, and i don't have the possibility to buy a new pc so rip me.
But that's actually strange, there are also games that never had this problem, i played Titanfall for some days recently and never crashed, Hades, minecraft and others games also don't give me this problem, so i'm really confused.
 
Different games stress components differently, the specific combination that triggers the bug may not be present in the games that still work fine - at least not badly enough to trigger the problem yet.

Drivers complaining that the GPU randomly got "removed" however definitely implies a hardware issue of some sort.

so i can't do nothing with it unless i buy a new pc?
ty anyways for the response.
 
There is a slight chance that opening the laptop to give it a thorough dusting-off might help, though it comes with the possibility that you may ruin it in the process.

i already cleaned the pc multiple times in a year and never helped.
Oh i also noticed that after i've formatted the pc, after the game crashes, i get a notification saying: "Application has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware " can this help in some way ?
